Why We Love it

Feast your eyes on pure class from one of the best watchmakers in the world.

This slim and elegant dress piece couldn't be any further removed from the bulky brute of the Royal Oak Offshore line that Audemars Piguet is perhaps most commonly known for amongst today's collectors. Hearkening back to a simpler time, it’s representative of an era in which the maison made so few timepieces per year that many were unique pieces, or part of incredibly limited series.

Housed in a 34mm 18K yellow gold case with an acrylic crystal, an unsigned crown, and a stunning, stepped hobnail bezel, this elegant dress piece features a brushed, champagne dial with applied yellow gold baton indices and a matching black-painted pencil handset. Powered by the automatic, 36-jewel Calibre K2120 from Audemars Piguet, it comes paired to a black leather strap with a gold-plated pin buckle.

With its winning design, svelte profile, and automatic winding, this little stunner from AP is most decidedly not the type of dress watch one comes across every day — even when one works in the vintage watch business! 

Try it on for size, and we’re sure you’ll see what we mean.

Brand Story

+
There are certain watches that define a brand, informing its design ethos and becoming nothing short of iconic in the minds of collectors. For Audemars Piguet, that watch is the Royal Oak, in all its multitudinous incarnations. Yet the manufacture from Le Brassus did not earn its seat in the triumvirate of leading watch brands — the so-called Big Three — on the success of the Royal Oak alone.

In fact, both Jules Audemars and Edward Piguet came from long lines of watchmakers, and made their reputations long before the Royal Oak was conceived. Their reputations rested on their ability to create incredibly elegant timepieces in numerous styles. While some of these timepieces were simple, elegant dress watches, others were one-off or short-series pieces produced at the rate of a handful per year. (Some years, Audemars Piguet only produced a few hundred watches in total.) Calendar watches, chronographs, minute repeaters — all the delights of haute horlogerie were part and parcel of the AP oeuvre long before the Royal Oak made its debut in 1972.

Technical innovations from AP abound and include the first minute-repeating movement, the first skeleton watch and an ultra-thin automatic tourbillon. Newer collections, such as the Code 11.59 from 2019, see the maison continue to develop new and exciting watches and calibers, the likes of which aren’t based upon tired horological tropes from models past. (Though if vintage reissues are your bag, AP does have a special “Remaster” line — currently consisting of just one model — that reimagines some of its classical, complicated pieces from the mid-20th century.)
