Lot Essay

Arnold Schwarzenegger has been a long time connoisseur of Audemars Piguet timepieces and various editions have been created to honour the hero of the 'End of Days' and Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines'.

This present lot, produced in a limited edition of 400 examples, celebrates the bodybuilder-movie star-businessman-politician with its chronograph function precision, magnetic-resistant movement and sophisticated sporty mien. The case back is engraved with an autograph of Arnold Schwarzenegger, an inspiration reminder of the man who epitomises the American Dream, beginning his career as Mr. Universe.
