Catalogue Note
This elegant stainless steel model was produced in a limited series of 200 pieces and carries the number 22. Within the case sits Audemars Piguet's calibre 2121, an ultra-thin automatic movement. The base for it is the ebauche calibre 920 designed by Jaeger-LeCoultre in 1967. Modified versions thereof were used in different Vacheron Constantin watches and famed models such as Audemars Piguet's Royal Oak and Patek Philippe's Nautilus, making it the only ebauche used by the 'Holy Trinity' of watch manufacturers.
