Catalogue Essay
Audemars Piguet was the first company to fit the tourbillon system into a wristwatch with an ultra-thin case in 1986. To build on this success, Audemars Piguet has since presented many tourbillon models combined with other watch complications. The present Edward Piguet model is characterised by a unique rectangular curved case enhanced with art-deco inspired lines. It features a tourbillon mechanism visible through a glazed aperture on the engine-turned dial and ensures optimal precision and originality.
