At Audemars Piguet, for a watch to carry the 'Grand Complication' name, it must include a minute repeater, perpetual calendar and split seconds chronograph. Since the firm's founding, not a year has passed when they have not made at least one grand complication.

It was in 1995, Audemars Piguet unveiled the Grand Complication wristwatch with automatic winding and indication of the calendar week. After years of research and development, the Grand Complication was launched in a Jules Audemars case and made in platinum. Each Grand Complication was made by special order only and requires 600 to 700 hours of work.

Presented in exceptional condition, this Grand Complication is a beautiful and exquisite example of how serious Audemars Piguet take it when manufacturing their most complicated watches.

Audemars Piguet

Swiss | 1881

A specialist in the manufacture of complications since it was established in 1881, Audemars Piguet never ceases to impress with a rich history of creating bold, even audacious, timepieces underpinned by traditional watchmaking at its finest. This Le Brassus-based Swiss manufacturer is one of only two major manufacturers still owned by the founding family. Since its earliest days, AP is considered a leader in the field of minute repeaters and grande complication pocket and wristwatches. The brand is devoted to preserving the history of watchmaking in the Vallée de Joux, showcased at their superb museum in Le Brassus.


Today, the brand is best known for its Royal Oak models, a revolutionary luxury sports watch launched in 1972. Other key models include early minute repeating wristwatches, vintage chronograph wristwatches, such as the oversized reference 5020, perpetual calendar watches and the Royal Oak Offshore, first introduced in 1993.
