product description
1973 Audemars Piguet Vintage Mens Thin Dress Watch - 18K White Gold Gorgeous Restored Condition - Elegant & Classic Today's offering showcases this handsome and classic thin Audemars Piguet mens dress watch in gorgeous restored condition. Our pictures couldn't fully do it justice! Featuring an elegant case with thin bezel and a royal blue dial (face), it possesses timeless elegance and class. And equipped with an extremely fine, original Audemars Piguet movement, it showcases top tier Swiss watchmaking. It has the same look as the ultra thin dress watches but without a caliber 2003 movement - this one is the slightly thicker and higher grade caliber 2001. Like only the very finest watches in the world - select watches from the likes of Patek, AP, and V & C, it is adjusted to five positions, heat, cold, and even isochronism. Isochronism is the amount of wind left in the movement. Most watches slow down slightly as their power reserve moves toward empty. That is not the case with this watch - it is very high-grade. It measures 33.5mm in diameter without the crown. Epitomizing the essence of ""'the classic watch"" remembered today, watches like this made by Patek, Vacheron & AP feature a manually wound movement, round gold cases, understated dial, slender hands, and simple baton markers. As one writer aptly stated, ""The extra-slim watch, whose style embraces only the strict essentials, has continued to seduce for its elegance and discretion."" We were fortunate to acquire it with all of its original parts down to the hands and winding crown. It has just finished a true expertly done restoration. The case presents is in beautiful mint condition with a crisp hallmark and sharp lines. The royal blue dial has been meticulously restored - the printing could pass as Audemars Piguet factory done to the naked eye. It is a rich, even royal blue. As part of the restoration a Master Watchmaker has freshly overhauled it. It is keeping running strong and very true, keeping time on par with a new AP in our testing recording position. For the finishing touch we have installed a new band making it ready for immediate enjoyment. Audemars Piguet: As one of the finest names in watchmaking, Audemars Piguet commitment to quality and technical superiority is legendary. Long known for their highly-complicated watches, Audemars Piguet stands alongside Patek Philippe on the top echelon of premier watchmakers in the world.

about AUDEMARS PIGUET
In 1875, Jules Louis Audemars joined forces with Edward Auguste Piguet to develop and craft watches equipped with complex and modern mechanisms. They shared a passion for watchmaking and a mastery of the art of precision that still characterises the ultra-luxury Swiss company now. Today, Audemars Piguet is still the oldest fine watch-making manufacturer never to have left the hands of its founding families, which gives the company an appealing independent streak that ensures it follows its own unique vision within the industry. Mixing ancestral skills with contemporary technological innovations, Audemars Piguet presents a sophisticated selection of fine watches for men and women that, like the brand itself, can be passed down from generation to generation.
