This 1960s Audemars Piguet is a very rare time-only version with a large 37mm white gold case. Created in an era of functional minimalism, this AP embodies the epitome of style and timeless elegance.
The lack of a date window not only gives this watch its harmonious simplicity, but is also a rare feature. Occasionally, a date version of this AP vintage watch appears on the market, but it is 1 mm smaller in diameter, which is noticeable on the wrist. The time-only version is not only rarer but also has an impressive presence on the wrist without being obtrusive.
The purist dial has a fine sunburst finish that subtly reflects the light. The dagger hour markers create a classic yet striking look. Thanks to its concave shape, the 18k white gold case adds a unique depth dimension and gives the watch an exclusive look.
This AP is powered by the automatic caliber K2071, a movement that is not only reliable but also known for its exceptional finesse and precision. It is considered one of the best automatic movements and was developed to compete directly with Patek Philippe's calibers 12-600 and 27-460. The screw-down back emphasizes the robustness and the high-quality finish of the rotor adds an extra touch of luxury to the design.
This AP is a watch for the true connoisseur who appreciates the silence and sophistication of such a classic timepiece.
