Founded in 1881, Audemars Piguet has long distinguished itself as a specialist in high complications, producing timepieces that balance technical mastery with a confident, often daring design language. Still owned by the founding families, the Le Brassus manufacture is one of the few major maisons to maintain such continuity. From its earliest years, Audemars Piguet has been regarded as a leader in the creation of minute repeaters and grande complication pocket and wristwatches, a reputation earned through consistent excellence in traditional craftsmanship. Its commitment to preserving the watchmaking heritage of the Vallée de Joux is reflected in the brand’s exceptional museum in Le Brassus, a testament to both its history and its enduring influence on haute horlogerie.
This can be clearly attested to in this example. A fine, subtle model in yellow gold featuring a moon phase and day-date complication. It is a discrete force of watchmaking, whose exterior simplicity belies the craftsmanship within the case. The watch comes with a Certificate of Origin and Guarantee dated May 8, 1987.
