  • Catalogue Essay

    Launched in 1995, the reference was an unnumbered limited edition series made to commemorate the 150th Anniversary of the Swiss bank “Banque Cantonale Vaudoise”. Featuring an ultra-slim manually-wound cal. 2080, the case measures a mere 0.5mm in thickness. The present watch features an engraving on the caseback “Banque Cantonale Vaudoise 1845-1995”, which remains crisp and clear.

    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.
