Specialist note

One of the most spectacular of Audemars Piguet’s famously thin and elegant automatic skeletonized wristwatches - the present magnificent white gold version with superb integral white gold bracelet, sports a dazzling bezel set with 32 specially shaped and cut rich blue sapphires, it is further set with a large single diamond at three of the quarter-hour positions, with the recessed sapphire-set crown at 3 o’clock.

Such intricate open worked wristwatches are admired for their sheer level of skeletonization and hand-finishing. This, in combination with the thinness of the automatic movement, a remarkable achievement in itself, gives this superb timepiece a seemingly effortless elegance that is an unmistakable Audemars Piguet signature, reflecting the tradition and savoir-faire of the historic manufacture.
