Today's offering showcases this handsome and classic Audemars Piguet mens TV shaped dress watch in gorgeous original condition. Our photos couldn't begin to do it justice.
Featuring an elegant 18K white gold "TV" case and downward turned lugs and a classic silver dial (face), it possesses timeless elegance and class. And equipped with an extremely fine, original Audemars Piguet movement, it showcases top tier Swiss watchmaking.
Like only the very finest watches in the world - select watches from the likes of Patek, AP, and V & C, it is adjusted to five positions, heat, cold, and even isochronism. Like Pateks from the era and following, it has a free-sprung balance with gold Microstella screws on the balance for regulating it - it is extremely high-grade.
It measures 34mm in diameter without the crown, pleasingly larger than many similar AP's dress watches from this era.
It has all original parts - it appears to have spent nearly all of its life safely stored away. Its case presents as mint and its untouched original dial is mint with only the tiniest bit of aging visible under heavy magnification.
A Master Watchmaker has just fully disassembled the movement down to its last screw and freshly serviced it.
For the finishing touch we have equipped it with a brand new calfskin leather strap making it ready for immediate enjoyment.
Included with the purchase is a one-year international warranty on the movement and its function, a custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity, and a new timing certificate.
