122 Audemars Piguet An incredibly important and highly sophisticated, minute repeating, split second chronograph, open-faced pocket watch in platinum, retailed by Tiffany & Co.

Estimate: € 45.000 –⁠ 90.000

While the world has long shifted toward the wristwatch, the allure of an important, complicated pocket watch—especially one manufactured by Audemars Piguet—remains undeniably powerful. And when such a timepiece combines the poetic chime of a minute repeater with the technical brilliance of a split-seconds chronograph, we enter the realm of true horological nobility. The example offered here is nothing short of extraordinary. Cased in platinum—a metal seldom chosen for such complications in this era—and preserved in remarkably good condition, it stands as a monument to early 20th-century Swiss watchmaking at its finest. The dial alone deserves lengthy contemplation: elegant Breguet numerals, vertical registers, and most notably, the discreet yet evocative “Tiffany & Co.”signature at 12 o’clock. Few watches can claim such a prestigious dual pedigree. Powering this marvel is a movement of exceptional quality: Audemars Piguet crafted the case of the watch and fitted it with an extra-quality movement, finished to a superior standard compared to the regular production. The ébauche at its core is from Victorin Piguet, selected for its unmatched mechanical performance. With its rich complications, understated charisma, and impeccable importance, this watch is a quiet masterwork from the golden age of Swiss haute horlogerie—an enduring testament to the artistry and ingenuity that defined the early decades of Audemars Piguet.
