This “Jules Audemars Tourbillon” is preserved in very good overall condition. It is no. 8 of this model made in an exceedingly small series.
Ref. 25781 was introduced in 1991 as the world's first wristwatch combining a tourbillon, an automatic movement, a power reserve and a date indication. 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.
The model is illustrated and described in Gisbert L. Brunner, Christian Pfeiffer, Martin K. Wehrli "Audemars Piguet", Munich 1993, p. 276.
