In the early days of horological history, the designs of highly complicated watches seemed to cater exclusively to men.  Understanding the needs of ladies who possess confidence and esprit, Audemars Piguet has developed timepieces specifically for ladies since 1883 based on its core value of "Spirit of Independence."  The Jules Audemars collection is distinguished by a timelessly elegant round case and a streamlined bezel. The present lady's tourbillon chronograph watch features a fabulous mother-of-pearl and pavé diamond-set dial with Roman numerals, as well as a stunning baguette diamond-set bezel in a 41 mm brilliant-cut diamond-set case.  This sophisticated design is undoubtedly the brand's dedication to the most refined ladies.
