It isn't just all-original... it is untouched down to the original band and AP 18K buckle. A true barn find. We purchased five watches from the daughter and wife of the original owner, including two IWCs in comparable condition. It appears to have been stored for many, many years.
Featuring an elegant case with Florentine bezel and downward turned lugs and a classic dial (face), it possesses timeless elegance and class. And equipped with an extremely fine, original Audemars Piguet movement, it showcases top tier Swiss watchmaking. It has the same look as the ultra thin dress watches but without a cal. 2001 movement - this one is slightly thicker and higher grade, adjusted to five positions.
It measures 34mm in diameter without the crown, pleasingly larger than most similar AP's dress watches from this era.
One of our watchmakers has just fully disassembled the movement down to its last screw and freshly cleaned and oiled it - it is near pristine. It's gorgeous!
Included with the purchase is a one-year international warranty on the movement and its function, a custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity, and a new timing certificate.
