Audemars Piguet has long been revered for its ability to blend exceptional watchmaking with exquisite craftsmanship, and its pocket watches are no exception. The Audemars Piguet Pocket Watch ref. 35 683BA is a testament to the brand’s dedication to both mechanical innovation and artistic beauty. Encased in 18k yellow gold, this octagonal masterpiece is adorned with intricate hand-engraved floral motifs along its bezel, and a very uncommon onyx and tiger-eye structure for each side, exuding timeless sophistication. The open-worked dial and caseback reveal the exquisite skeletonized manual-winding caliber 2003/1, a movement renowned for its elegance, precision, and ultra-thin construction. The delicate architecture of the movement, enhanced by golden bridges and meticulously polished gears, is a visual symphony of traditional Swiss watchmaking. Housed within a 41.5 mm case, this pocket watch is not just a timekeeping instrument but a collector’s treasure, reflecting the pinnacle of Audemars Piguet’s haute horlogerie. Accompanied by its Certificate of Origin, confirming its sale on May 2nd, 1988, along with a hang tag, pochette, and outer packaging, this remarkable timepiece embodies the legacy of an era when pocket watches were symbols of status and refinement.
