Full-Cataloguing
Not only is this timepiece one of the earliest examples of the reference (indeed it features the 4-digit reference, employed only in the early 1980s before switching to a 5-digits system with the addition of “1” as first digit) it also is one of the most fabulously scarce examples of the model.
According to Audemars Piguet archives, only 20 examples in white gold of the model were ever produced: a truly exclusive number for the selected few.
Audemars Piguet
Swiss | 1881A 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.
