Today's offering showcases this handsome and classic mid-century Audemars Piguet mens dress watch in beautiful original condition.

Featuring an elegant case with long downward turned lugs and a classic dial (face), it possesses timeless elegance and class. The screw back waterproof style has an inner antimagnetic cover. And equipped with an extremely fine, original Audemars Piguet movement, it showcases top tier Swiss watchmaking.

A little larger than midsized, it is the size of many of AP's dress watches from this era.

It is fully original down to the dial, hands, and crown.

Our watchmaker has just freshly cleaned and oiled the high-grade Audemars Piguet handwound movement, which is near pristine. It's gorgeous!

Photos of the inside available upon request.

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.
