The present timepiece is a highly attractive neo-vintage chronograph, featuring an integral Audemars Piguet gold bracelet and a rope-twist decorated case band. It stands as a prime example of the intricate openworked wristwatches for which Audemars Piguet is admired, showcasing an exceptional level of skeletonization and hand-finishing.
This superb timepiece exudes the effortless elegance that is unmistakably Audemars Piguet, reflecting the tradition and savoir-faire of the historic manufacture.
