This “Jules Audemars Tourbillon” is preserved in very good overall condition. It is no. 8 of this model made in an exceedingly small series.

Furthermore it is notable for its streamlined case devoid of crown, which has been moved to the back, and its calibre 2875 which features a pendulum oscillating weight as self-winding mechanism rather than the traditional rotor.
