Audemars Piguet

Quantieme Perpetuel Automatique

A very rare and elegant octagonal 18 K gold bracelet watch with perpetual calendar and moon phase - full set with original etui, certificate, operating instructions and sales receipt

Sold

This solid gold piece has an octagonal 35 mm case with a stepped yellow gold bezel. The white dial features baton hands, applied yellow gold indexes and black sub dials for the perpetual calendar. However, the icing on the cake is without doubt the integrated yellow gold basketwork bracelet, which is the most distinctive feature of this marvellous watch. The model embodies the Audemars Piguets brand concept in the time period from the mid 1970s to the mid 1980s: The creation of design oriented yet highly complex timepieces.
The present watch is in well looked after condition. Both the case and the dial are original and untouched. Due to its age the gold case has slight surface scratches. The blue hands and the blue moon phase disc form a pleasant contrast to the deep, lustrous gold case and lend the timepiece its marvellous, unique look.
