AUDEMARS PIGUET Vintage Golden Age Dress Watch, 18k Yellow Gold, Octagonal Case, Caliber 2121, Champagne Dial, Dauphine Hands, Original Integrated Bracelet, Circa 1980, Perfect Condition
Long before the Royal Oak claimed the octagon as its own signature, Audemars Piguet was already exploring that same geometric language in its ultra-thin dress watches, and this piece is a genuine artifact of that golden era, worn as an integrated whole rather than a case with a strap attached.
The 18k yellow gold octagonal case flows directly into its original integrated bracelet, both cut from the same gold to create one continuous, uninterrupted object on the wrist, a construction technique that demanded far greater skill than simply attaching a strap.
The champagne dial keeps a clean, restrained layout, letting elegant dauphine hands sweep across warm gold tones without any unnecessary complication competing for attention.
Inside runs the caliber 2121, one of the thinnest full-rotor automatic movements ever built, developed jointly with Jaeger-LeCoultre and later famously adopted across AP's own Royal Oak, at just 3.05mm thick and delivering roughly 40 hours of power reserve from 247 components.
This example is offered in:
- Perfect condition
- maximum fitting wrist size 18 cm
- solid 18K yellow gold dial
