  • Catalogue Essay

    Combining the luxury of a fully diamond-set pink gold case with the supreme technicality of the tourbillon regulator, and adding on top of all of that a skeletonize dial with diamond-set details, the present timepiece truly is a statement watch like few others. It is part of a limited “Morita” edition. Yasumichi Morita is a Japanese star designer who was tasked with the refurbishment of AP’s boutique in Ginza, Tokyo.

    The high regard Audemars Piguet themselves kept this piece in is further confirmed by the superlative plexiglass box embedded with metal beads, giving the effect of the watch swimming in rosé champagne once fit into the cradle. Morita’s signature is discreetly engraved next to the watch’s cradle.

    The piece is offered by its original owner and complete of its original Guarantee booklet, instruction manual and a dazzling presentation box.

  • Artist Biography

    Audemars Piguet

    Swiss • 1881

    A specialist in the manufacture of complications since it was established in 1881, Audemars Piguet never ceases to impress with a rich history of creating bold, even audacious, timepieces underpinned by traditional watchmaking at its finest. This Le Brassus-based Swiss manufacturer is one of only two major manufacturers still owned by the founding family. Since its earliest days, AP is considered a leader in the field of minute repeaters and grande complication pocket and wristwatches. The brand is devoted to preserving the history of watchmaking in the Vallée de Joux, showcased at their superb museum in Le Brassus.

    Today, the brand is best known for its Royal Oak models, a revolutionary luxury sports watch launched in 1972. Other key models include early minute repeating wristwatches, vintage chronograph wristwatches, such as the oversized reference 5020, perpetual calendar watches and the Royal Oak Offshore, first introduced in 1993.
