Vintage Audemars Piguet wristwatches are widely recognized by collectors as rare timepieces with unusual, yet classic designs.
The present example is made in platinum, which for the time was exceedingly desirable and not commonly seen in wristwatches. According to Audemars Piguet's records, the movement of this watch was originally fitted in a two-tone gold case, and sold to Metric Watch in New York in 1929. The present case was consequently added at a later point, possibly already in the early 1930s, at the premises of their American distributor. Audemars Piguet's records, despite exhaustive research, do not contain traces in regards to this pairing.
As a noteworthy addition to any watch enthusiast's collection, the most exciting and aesthetically pleasing element about this watch is its lugs. The rectangular case is accentuated by the beautifully formed, hinged lugs that have been well preserved for almost 80 years. As one looks at this watch resting upon their wrist, they are sure to feel as though they have been transported back in time.
