The black “Mega Tapisserie” guilloche dial and hands glow with a spectral blue luminosity, illuminated for legibility even on the midnight watch. Beneath the bonnet ticks Audemars Piguet’s own self-winding cal. 3120 movement, boasting 60 hours of power reserve.

When only the finest maritime-inspired timepieces will do, the present ref.15703ST is the undisputed champion, preserved in excellent condition with its full set of accessories. This robust yet refined beauty delivers performance as deep and multi-dimensional as the open ocean itself.
