Audemars Piguet Ref. 25947OR Edward Piguet N°1

A surprising pink gold rectangular wristwatch with tourbillon regulator and skeletonized dial, bearing case number 1. This watch is the first example made of the model, as implied by its case number “1”. The rectangular, elegant case is as attractive as it is unusual for the brand. It bears a rectangular, skeletonized movement perfectly fit to the case. The Edouard Piguet collection was launched in the 1990s as a tribute to Audemars Piguet’s co-founder. It was defined by its rectangular case and superb movements, making it remarkably in tune with today’s tastes. The present model was available in pink gold and platinum, featuring an exquisitely finished skeletonized movement with the large tourbillon regulator at 6 o’clock as the undisputed star of the show. The movement was clearly developed specifically for the model, as both its shape and its superbly balanced architecture are intrinsically linked to the final aesthetic effect of the piece. This specific example is not only offered in lovely condition, but most importantly bears the case number “1”, denoting it as the very first example made—an absolute treat for the intellectual collector.
