Specialist note

Preserved in extremely good condition, this rare platinum version of the AP Quantieme Perpetuel automatic is both visually striking and highly wearable yet at the same time a complicated and significant AP heritage timepiece. First made in 1978, this model is still the thinnest self-winding watch with perpetual calendar. Very few examples in platinum have appeared at auction.
