Audemars Piguet is renowned for its intricate and meticulously crafted skeletonized watches, and the current timepiece exemplifies this reputation. Adorned with hardstone jade panels, it showcases a beautifully finished skeletonized movement that showcases the manufacturer's exceptional skill and expertise. What sets this open-face watch apart is its unique hexagonal shape, a design choice that would have required additional effort in carving the hardstone. Even the bow of the watch is embellished with jade, a remarkable feat considering the fragility of the material.
