Catalogue Essay
Audemars Piguet in 1986 was the first company to fit a tourbillon into a ultra-thin case and it was in the 1990s, alongside the Royal Oak, their classic wristwatches were divided up either into Jules Audemars with circular case or an Edward Piguet for their art-deco inspired rectangular curved cases. The present tourbillon wristwatch exemplifies the creative spirit at Audemars Piguet and demonstrates clearly how the Edward Piguet collection is supposed to be with its rectangular curved case with art-deco inspired lines and its beautifully skeletonized dial.
