Jewel watches represent a small but significant part of the history of watchmaking. It is precisely from the use of an old and small jewel watch tied to the wrist with a piece of cloth by a nurse in order to better control a child that the modern concept of a wristwatch was born. The present Audemars Piguet is a combination of elegance, refinement and innovation, as well as a remarkable demonstration of skill. The integrated 18k white-gold bracelet has a very special structure of great effect, capable of being at the same time very robust but also delicate while the deployant still shows all the extremely light and deep punches. The circular case has a ring decorated with 32 round diamonds with brilliant cut. The dial offers a splendid and unusual Opal color completed its white-gold baton hands. Fascinating and glamorous, the present watch is offered in remarkable conditions and quality with the extract from archives confirming its production the 31st of August 1993.
