Since its establishment in 1881, the Le Brassus-based manufacturer Audemars Piguet has been an admirable asset to the history and development of horology. Paying homage to one of the two founders, the firm launched the Jules Audemars collection in 1982 to respect the noble craft of traditional Swiss watchmaking. Encapsulating traditional craftsmanship fused along with contemporized elements, the result achieved is perhaps a timeless appeal.

The Jules Audemars Tourbillon Chronographe is a perfect embodiment of the model line. Adopting a 43mm diameter case, the case alone features a blend of mirror polishing for the bezel and the top facet of the lugs with a brushed finish to complete the rest of the case. On the other hand, the dial has been designed rather conservatively with a perfectly symmetrical layout featuring 1-minute, 30-minute registers and a tourbillon carriage at 6 O’clock.

Deploying a subtle and understated elegance, the present Audemars Piguet Tourbillon Chronographe in white gold is charmed by its full set of accessories and preserved in excellent overall condition. Underappreciated, this is a fantastic opportunity for collectors to acquire a high quality chronograph wristwatch by Audemars Piguet.

The present lot is being sold to benefit The One Drop Foundation, a charity striving to provide safe drinking water to all communities.
