Audemars Piguet Holding SA is famous Swiss manufacturer of luxury watches and clocks, headquartered in Le Brassus, Switzerland. Was founded by Jules Louis Audemars and Edward Auguste Piguet in the Vallée de Joux in 1875, acquiring the name Audemars Piguet & Cie in 1881.
Named after one of its founders, the Jules Audemars collection takes cues from more traditional Audemars Piguet designs. In 1875, Jules Audemars created about 20 very complex movements. These movements marked the beginning of Audemars Piguet. All watches in this collection have a circular shape, some of which also feature complications.

Distinctive design.
Excellent condition, never worn: the wristwatch comes from luxury watch-shop showcase; that's why the strap is replaced with brand new one, alligator grain on cow (leather straps often suffer from temperature in shop windows due to powerful spotlights).
My free gift: chic watch box (see pics).
General professional pre-sale service was made in January 2023.
Insured, registered and very quick shipping worldwide with DHL Express: couple of days and your AP is delivered.
Everything you see in my pics is included in the package that you'll receive.
