Audemars Piguet Jules Audemars Tourbillon

Audemars Piguet Ref. 25873OR.00.D002.01 Jules Audemars Tourbillon

A mechanically exceptional pink gold tourbillon wristwatch with date and power reserve. Audemars Piguet’s “Jules Audemars” collection, introduced in the late 20th century, contrasted with the brand’s iconic sporty Royal Oak collection by showcasing traditional round wristwatches emphasising Swiss haute horology and classic complications. Jules Audemars was instrumental in technical innovations at the maison and was responsible for creating the first minute-repeating wristwatch movement in 1892 and their “Grande Complication” in 1899. Today, collectors seek out “Jules Audemars” wristwatches as the spiritual successor to the early 20th century complicated pocket watches. The present reference 25873OR exemplifies the spirit of the collection with the automatic caliber 2875 and tourbillon. Audemars Piguet reduced the movement thickness to implement a bumper winding system rather than rotor allowing a back-set crown so to maintain the classic flow of the round case.
