Full-Cataloguing

- Very well-preserved and accompanied with accessories
Since its establishment in 1881, the Le Brassus-based manufacturer Audemars Piguet has been an admirable asset to the history and development of horology. Paying homage to one of the two founders, the firm launched the Jules Audemars collection in 1982 to respect the noble craft of traditional Swiss watchmaking. Encapsulating traditional craftsmanship fused along with contemporized elements, the result achieved is perhaps a timeless appeal.
The present example beautifully exemplifies how the brand manages to interpret its distinguished heritage in light of the modern evolution of watchmaking design. It features one of the most sought-after horological complication - the tourbillon - housed in an exquisitely retro-modern Jules Audemars case, inspired by the classic cases of the mid-twentieth century but reinterpreted in a modern aesthetic. The dial design is simple but elegant, the exposed tourbillon being the undoubted highlight, subtly complemented by the minimalistic silvered and applied Roman numerals. Preserved in stunning condition and accompanied with its original warranty and accessories sold in Japan.
