Presenting a whimsical world right on the wrist, the wandering hours complication, originating from the 17th century, offers a unique horological experience. This intricate mechanism employs a series of satellites that gracefully orbit along an arc-shaped minute scale to indicate the hours. In 1991, Audemars Piguet embraced this captivating innovation and christened it the Star Wheel collection.
Today, this timepiece has become a beloved neo-vintage classic, highly sought after by collectors.
