Lot Essay

With copy of Vacheron Constantin Attestation dated 16 June 1992 confirming that the present "grande complication" hunter case minute repeating perpetual calendar split seconds chronograph watch with 30 minutes register, movement no. 5287, was made in their workshops and sold by their boutique at the beginning of the century.

This Triple Complication is an example of exceptional quality not only in regards to its movement, but also its dial and case meet a level of high-end quality that is the signature of Audemars Piguet timepieces for this period of time. No wonder that Vacheron Constantin chose Audemars Piguet as a supplier for such a watch.
This partnership results in an outstanding watch that is very rare and provides collectors with delight thanks to the good documentation both within the literature by Audemars Piguet and the Archives from Vacheron Constantin.

The overall appeal of this masterwork of horology is enhanced by its very good overall condition.

The present watch is illustrated in Audemars Piguet by Gisbert L. Brunner, Christian Pfeiffer Belli and Martin K. Wehrli, 1992, p. 148.
