287 Audemars Piguet
Manufacturer: Audemars Piguet Year: 1918 Movement No: 21'773 Case No: 21'773 Material: 18k yellow gold Calibre: Mechanical, 10''' Bracelet/Strap: Brown leather strap Clasp/Buckle: 18k gold buckle Dimensions: 39 mm. length Signed: Case, dial and movement signed Accessories: With Audemars Piguet Certificat d'Origine confirming the production of the present watch in 1918, leather wallet and fitted presentation box. Catalogue Essay Founded in 1875, by 22 year old Jules Louis Audemars and 24 year old Edward Auguste Piguet, Audemars Piguet is still today a family owned business. The brand has always had a passion for fine watchmaking, and has been kept alive for the past 140 years. The present watch, an early tonneau form wristwatch made in 1918, is extremely well preserved, extraordinarily rare, and still running perfectly well today considering it is almost its 100th birthday. The style, very common for early wristwatches, and when one first encounters, recalls the Patek Philippe "Gondolo" manufactured during the same period. After having searched extensively though literature and auction catalogues, another example of an Audemars Piguet in this style and such good condition cannot be found. Read More
