Object description

Case and Dial Design

The watch is housed in a rectangular, two-body platinum case with a polished and brushed finish. It is constructed to be water-resistant, incorporating a flat sapphire crystal and a case back secured by four screws. The dimensions are specified as 38 mm by 29 mm with a profile thickness of 8 mm.

The white dial is configured for clarity and visual interest, featuring painted Arabic numerals for the minute track. A specific aperture for the jump hour is situated at the top, while a subsidiary seconds dial is positioned at the 6 o'clock index. The hands are designated as black 'Cathedrale' style. The piece is accompanied by a platinum Audemars Piguet buckle.

Movement and Functionality

Internally, the watch is equipped with the Audemars Piguet Caliber 2866. This manual-wind movement is rhodium plated and adorned with fausses-côtes decoration. It contains 32 jewels and utilizes a lever escapement. The monometallic balance is adjusted to heat, cold, isochronism, and five positions.
