What you’re looking at is an extremely rare, tantalum-and-gold chronograph from none other than Audemars Piguet, one of Swiss watchmaking’s “Holy Trinity.” The “Huitieme” Chronograph, as it’s called, was part of a prestigious collection of complicated watches that existed in the 1970s and 1980s. Distinctly “of its time” when viewed today, it’s a watch that nevertheless represented the pinnacle of cutting-edge industrial design upon its introduction.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThis particular Huitieme Chronograph features a 40mm tantalum case, a mineral crystal with built-in inverted date magnifier, an unsigned crown, a signed, stepped bezel, a grey tantalum dial with triple-register chronograph layout, an outer tachymeter dial, a date window, gold stick hands, and a Analog\/Shift Denham strap with stainless steel pin buckle. It’s powered by the Audemars Piguet Calibre 2121, which is itself based upon an ébauche from Jaeger-LeCoultre with a Dubois Dépraz chronograph module sitting on top. (At the time of the watch’s production, AP owned 40% of struggling JLC.)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eIf you’re a fan of complicated watchmaking but are tired of the same ol,’ same ol,’ this funky chrono from AP should be in your cart!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Audemars Piguet","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39683296198743,"sku":"40990859","price":13700.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0809\/1255\/products\/AS06354_40990859_AUDEMARSPIGUET_TANTALUMCHRONOGRAPH-6.jpg?v=1649177501","url":"https:\/\/www.analogshift.com\/products\/audemars-piguet-tantalum-chronograph-as06354","provider":"Analog:Shift","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
