Audemars Piguet
Ref. 5082
A rare and attractive white gold wristwatch with diamond-set dial and bracelet
Full-Cataloguing
- Powered by the Lecoultre based caliber 2001 which was at the time one of the thinnest movements available on the market. With its white gold brink lick bracelet and diamond-set dial, it is an understated study in elegance and design. With its clean lines and beautiful design, it is as modern and relevant today as it was over half a decade ago.
- Research with the manufacture confirms that the present watch was delivered in 1956 to Vacheron Constantin, who sold Audemars Piguet timepieces during the 1950s and 1960s.
