Product Details

Though its price tag is not in the six-figure range, the gorgeous, vintage Audemars Piguet wristwatch featured in today's offering is one of the very fine ladies vintage watches made and showcases why these masterpieces are sought-after by women of distinction, Hollywood actresses, and any lady desiring to wear a true world-class timepiece.

Powering this gem is a very special backwind movement produced by Audemars Piguet in only very limited quantities due to its very high production costs.

Rivaling the Jaeger-LeCoultre Caliber 101 as one of the smallest mechanical movements in the world, this mechanism was only used by AP for top-tier examples of their ladies watches. We have included a photo of the movement next to a few grains of rice so its tiny size can be fully understood.

Besides representing the state-of-the-art in miniaturization technology, this watch also possesses a very high level of artistic refinement, concealing its winding crowns beneath the case back so as not to disrupt the watch's perfect purity and full symmetry.

Embodying the femininity of the times, it exemplifies refined elegance, merging soft sensual curves with the strength of angular sculptured lines. And equipped with a petite backwind mechanism it unites inner and outer beauty.

It is in fabulous original condition.

Its stunning case, bejeweled with diamonds, is in better than near mint condition, complete with its original gold winding crown. Its complementary light champagne dial is mint. And its fine, miniaturized Audemars Piguet movement is clean.

Our watchmaker has freshly serviced this special mechanical work of art. Included with the purchase is a one-year C.O.T. warranty on the movement and its function and a custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity.

To purchase a comparable new Audemars Piguet wristwatch today would cost in the ballpark of $40,000 USD.
