The present example features a solid 18kt yellow gold snap back case with polished tops and sides. The case is in great condition displaying minor wear commensurate with age.
The attractive gold dial features a vertical brush pattern in the center with a stunning gold leaf frame and black painted hash-mark indices. Signed “AUDEMARS, PIGUET”, “GENÈVE”, “SWISS”. Correct baton-style hour and minute hands with subsidiary seconds.
Inside is an Audemars Piguet caliber 2001 hand winding movement with 18 jewels and 4 adjustments. The movement is clean, winding and running well and keeping time. Note that when fully engaged inward the crown protrudes approx 1mm from the side of the case.
