From the very threshold when bigger, interesting, mechanical watches started to emerge from the sea of dull quartz watches of the 1980s, this stylish Audemars Piguet 'Jules Audemars Huitieme Chronograph' emphasises elegance with its large 40mm case, pin-sharp engraved moniker on the bezel & silvery-white dial. The inner tachymetric scale lends a nod to the gentleman racer while the simple lines of the solid 18ct yellow gold case make it equally as wearable at dinner. The dial's typeface is clear whilst discreetly retaining the serifed font of Audemars' greatest traditional pieces. Applied gold hour markers, and date aperture at 3 with a concealed magnifying lens. Powered by the beloved Jaeger LeCoultre-based AP automatic calibre 2126 / 2840 & fitted to a new brown alligator strap with gold buckle. Accompanied complete with its green 'vintage' box, AP booklet & incorrectly numbered papers from the original sale.
