Worth A Read

History & Significance
While Audemars Piguet is most often associated today with the Royal Oak, the brand’s mastery of haute horlogerie dates back long before its iconic sports watch. For much of the 20th century, Audemars Piguet was celebrated for its ultra-slim dress watches, intricate calendars, and exquisitely finished movements.
Before the Royal Oak, Audemars Piguet produced a range of solid gold cocktail and evening watches that showcased the brand’s discreet excellence — elegant, slim, and mechanically sophisticated. These watches were crafted to the same high standards as the brand’s most complicated pieces, featuring superb finishing and precise in-house calibers.
Writer’s Thoughts
The gold-on-gold tone is warm and cohesive, while the slim profile makes it both comfortable and elegant. There’s a timelessness to this design that makes it equally suited for collectors and newcomers who want to own an Audemars Piguet but have a more specific budget.
Our Promise
Every watch is thoroughly vetted, carefully described with complete transparency, and guaranteed authentic. Each piece is offered in honest condition, ensuring collectors receive a timepiece that reflects both originality and integrity.
