CASE & BRACELET
The 18K yellow gold case exhibits gentle signs of use and minimal evidence of previous polishing. The hallmarks remain deep and fully present throughout. The 18K white gold bezel is also in very well-preserved condition, as are the inlaid sapphire stones at each hour. The watch comes supplied on a gently used vintage black velvet Audemars Piguet strap with an 18K yellow gold Audemars Piguet tang buckle.
DIAL & HANDS
The original silver dial has achieved a lovely warm patina and exhibits some expected elements of age and subtle markings throughout the dial, however, for the age of the watch we would consider the dial to remain in great vintage condition that retains a very charming aesthetic. The yellow gold hands are original and remain in excellent condition.
ACCESSORIES
The watch is keeping time, but the service history is unknown. A movement service can be provided upon request.
