Catalogue Essay
- 1986 marked the year Audemars Piguet released their first-ever automatic chronograph wristwatch with date indication. Initially presented without a collection name, they were nicknamed as the “Huitieme” in some catalogues made for the Italian market. A watch with many firsts, the reference 25644 was also the first Audemars Piguet model to be offered in tantalum, along with yellow gold, stainless steel and platinum variants.
- Fitted in a soft, subtle yellow gold case, the present wristwatch features a warm white dial paired with black indexes and a tachymeter scale. Completed with hands and sub-counters in the same hue as its case, this is a well-balanced timepiece in both proportions and palate. With a “C” serial, the current timepiece is most certainly one of the earlier examples of this reference.
- Offered in excellent overall condition, this elegant yellow gold Huitieme chronograph is the perfect summer watch, sporting an athletic aesthetic that seamlessly complements a sun-kissed complexion.
