Featuring an elegant case with thin bezel and downward turned lugs and a classic dial (face), it possesses timeless elegance and class. And equipped with an extremely fine, original Audemars Piguet movement, it showcases top tier Swiss watchmaking. It has the same look as the ultra thin dress watches but without a cal. 2001 movement - this one is slightly thicker and higher grade, adjusted to five positions.
It measures 34mm in diameter without the crown, pleasingly larger than most similar AP's dress watches from this era.
Epitomizing the essence of "'the classic watch" remembered today, watches like this made by Patek, Vacheron & AP feature a manually wound movement, round gold cases, understated dial, slender hands, and simple baton markers. As one writer aptly stated, "The extra-slim watch, whose style embraces only the strict essentials, has continued to seduce for its elegance and discretion."
Its parts are all original down to the crystal - it appears to have spent most of its life safely stored away. Its case presents as mint. Its dial is original and untouched - just short of perfect mint with slight aging around the tip of one marker.
A Master Watchmaker has just fully disassembled the movement down to its last screw and freshly serviced it - it is very clean.
For the finishing touch we have equipped it with a brand new Hirsch leather strap making it ready for immediate enjoyment.
Included with the purchase is a one-year international warranty on the movement and its function, a custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity, and a new timing certificate.
