Lot Essay

The present watch beautifully exemplifies Audemars Piguet's motto when striving for new heights in the world of complicated timepieces. The combination of minute repeating, chronograph with register and one minute tourbillon regulator is certainly one of the most daring achievements in modern watch engineering. The Jules Audemars collection pays tribute to one of the manufacture's founders and is a refined line embodying a legacy of intricate knowledge inherited from traditional horology. In keeping with these fundamental principles, Audemars Piguet has created a magnificent synthesis of noble characteristics: mechanical hand-wound movements featuring hand-crafted and decorated parts, ranging from "time only" to highly complicated wristwatches, such as the present watch.
