Audemars Piguet TV Shaped 5369 Steel

A timepiece existing beyond Audemars Piguet's typical design language, this ref. 5369 is an eccentric piece of classic 1960's styling, with its unique tonneau-shaped stainless steel “TV-screen” case and beautiful silver dial complete with applied indices. Powered by the exceedingly rare A.P. cal. 2002 movement, this ref. 5369 is believed to be part of 200 or so pieces fitted with this hard-to-find manual-wind caliber. Measuring in at 33 x 40mm, the ref. 5369 wears fantastically on the wrist with its vintage proportions. A large watch for its day, the ref. 5369 is wonderfully poised for the collector who wants a timepiece in keeping with today's fashion while also rich in its historical merit, as well as abundant in its confident design language and style. With beautifully polished bevelling throughout its satin-brushed case, this watch is a stunning piece of design that would comfortably slot into any collection. THE DIAL The watch has a dial that has been refinished at some point in its past. THE CONSTRUCTION Shaped a bit like a TV-screen, the ref. 5369's tonneau-shaped stainless steel case has become an iconic piece of AP's 1960's design language with its entirely brushed construction featuring small polished bevels that highlight its stunning lines.
