Catalogue Essay
Manufacturers such as Audemars Piguet who have been producing wristwatches for a long period of time have witnessed many changes in trends. It is evident that the present piece is definitely something out of the ordinary. The case is rectangular with an unusual almost hooded design in between flexible lugs. The case itself is enough to captivate the mind of a collector fond of unique case designs. However, this present example is further fitted with a tourbillon in the movement, which provides the current example with an exemplified appeal.
