Not the most popular amongst Audemars Piguet collections, the Huitième is one of the watches that are often overlooked by collectors. Back in the 90s, it is rare that dress watches are made to this size and Audemars Piguet is one of the forefathers of having a 40 mm case for their timepieces. With double signatures on the dial and engraved on the bezel, the dial is extremely readable and practical combining the date function.
