Specialist note

Audemars Piguet created their first wristwatch with minute repeater complication in 1907 for the famed American industrialist John Schaeffer. This customised pioneer version was created in a cushion-shape and the numerals on the dial were personalised with the letters of his name, instead of standard numerals. This present limited series watch represents Audemars Piguet's reinvention of this original and classic design.
