The timepiece showcased here is a splendid addition to Audemars Piguet’s esteemed Jules Audemars collection, housing one of the most historically significant movements ever created. Originating in the mid-1950s, the quest for showcasing technical prowess has endured through the years, culminating in the creation of this “Tourbillon Automatique” model in 1986. During its debut, it garnered acclaim as the world’s thinner and smaller tourbillon movement, marking a milestone in horological innovation. This model proudly features a groundbreaking tourbillon, meticulously designed for a manual-wind movement, comprising 19 jewels and boasting an impressive 72-hour power reserve. The 20-meter water-resistant case is a masterpiece in pink gold, measuring 39 mm in diameter. Accentuating its structural elegance is a circular diamond-set bezel, adding a touch of refinement to its design. A truly distinctive feature is the exceptional dial, meticulously crafted from white Mother-of-Pearl, adorned with a sunray-style guilloché pattern, an extraordinary achievement both technically and aesthetically. The pink Roman gold numerals and round-cut diamond-set indexes for the hours infuse an opulent touch. The meticulous attention to detail extends to every aspect of the watch, creating a seamless fusion of technical innovation and aesthetic finesse. Preserved in remarkable condition, this timepiece is accompanied by its box and certificate of origin, further elevating its collectible value. As a testament to Audemars Piguet’s unwavering commitment to craftsmanship and innovation, this watch stands as an epitome of horological excellence within the illustrious Jules Audemars collection.
