A striking demonstration of Audemars Piguet's mastery of both haute horlogerie and jewellery craftsmanship, the present skeletonised wristwatch is powered by the celebrated calibre 2003. Introduced in 1952, the calibre 2003 became one of the most important ultra-thin movements in Audemars Piguet's history and remained in production for decades, prized for its exceptional slimness and elegant construction.
Expertly skeletonised and finished by hand, the movement reveals an intricate network of openworked bridges and plates, showcasing the remarkable artistry involved in its creation. The dial is richly set with diamonds surrounding the movement, creating a captivating contrast between the brilliance of the gemstones and the refined mechanics within. Combined with its yellow gold case and bracelet, the watch elegantly unites technical sophistication and jewellery craftsmanship.
Offered in very good condition, the present example benefits from a bracelet that has been extended by approximately 12 mm on each side, a feature worthy of note for wearer comfort and versatility.
