Product Details

Today's offering showcases this mens midsize Audemars Piguet with ultra thin caliber 2003 movement. Its thin white gold case and striking royal blue dial and white gold hands, give it a fashionable and elegant vintage style.

It has all its original parts down to the hands and winding crown. It has just finished a true expertly done restoration and presents in gorgeous condition!

The case is mint - the lugs are crisp and it has a crisp hallmark. The striking gloss royal blue dial has been meticulously refinished - the printing could pass as Audemars Piguet factory done to the naked eye. At certain angles of light it takes on a bright electric tone.

It is an over half-century old watch that truly looks like new. It is a perfect restoration. Our photos couldn't do it justice.

Just as fine on the inside as it is on the outside, the watch is powered by Audemars Piguet's legendary extra-flat movement, co-developed with Vacheron & Constantin.

Released in 1946 the minuscule movement was a true feat of technical engineering. It is the thinnest movement ever created for a normal size watch, measuring a mere 1.64mm!

To honor the achievement Vacheron & Constantin presented personalized examples to several key Heads of State including President Dwight Eisenhower. Only a few luxury watches in the following decades would lay claim to this movement earning them reputations as masterpieces of twentieth-century watchmaking.

Epitomizing the essence of "'the classic watch" remembered today, watches with this styling made by Patek, Vacheron & AP feature a manually wound movement, round gold cases, understated dial, slender hands, and simple baton markers. As one writer aptly stated, "The extra-slim watch, whose style embraces only the strict essentials, has continued to seduce for its elegance and discretion."

As a mens midsize it is well-suited for someone who doesn't have a large wrist.

A Master Watchmaker has disassembled it down to its last screw and cleaned and oiled it. It continues to keep very accurate time. Photos of the inside available upon request.

For the finishing touch it comes equipped with a new leather band making it ready for immediate enjoyment.

Included with the purchase is a one-year C.O.T. international warranty on the movement and its function, a custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity, and a new timing certificate.
