This modern classic Audemars Piguet Jules Audemars model from 2001 still remains popular due to its wonderful visual aesthetics and the fact that the platinum casing hides the beating mechanical heart of a timepiece that can boast a range of features that prove it to be one of the most powerful available today. The finely engraved calibre 2866Q/2807 allows for wonderful timekeeping with the added complication of the minute repeating mechanism.
This particular model also has a stunning denim blue dial which brings to life the Roman numerals on a fine guilloche track.
This watch was created for the Audemars Piguet 125^th anniversary collection and only 1 example was produced.
