Audemars Piguet

Audemars Piguet: A Masterclass in Mid-Century Elegance

An elegant expression of mid century horology, this vintage Audemars Piguet Genève Automatic (circa 1960–1965) represents the pinnacle of the manufacture’s dress watch production during its most exclusive era. Case: Crafted in solid 18-Carat yellow gold, the case features a classic round silhouette. It is characterized by its slim profile and elegant, elongated lugs that give the watch a larger presence on the wrist than its measured diameter. Movement: This model usually houses the renowned Calibre K2071. The K2071 is a highly regarded 29 jewel self-winding movement, often featuring an 18-carat gold rotor segment for increased winding efficiency. Dial: A minimalist "time-only" silvered dial. It features applied gold baton hour markers, matching pointed baton hands, and a center sweep seconds hand. The signature includes "Audemars Piguet Genève" at 12 o'clock and a stylized "Automatic" script at 6 o'clock. Crystal: High-domed hesealite (acrylic) crystal, which provides a warm, vintage aesthetic characteristic of the 1960s.
