What We Love
We have been extremely fortunate to handle two of these early examples, distinguished by the “SWISS” only dial and the slimmer lug profile compared to later executions. The case, attributed to Croisier / JPE under the direction of Hagmann, features an intricate, knotted eight-sided design that sets it apart from the more conventional round variants.
It is documented that only 30 pieces of this reference were produced, with approximately 10 examples bearing the coveted “SWISS”-only designation.
The Tuscan dial displays significant, characterful patina from age and natural deterioration. The blue surface has evolved beautifully, revealing subtle purple hues alongside warm golden-brown undertones as the base metal begins to emerge, an effect that makes this piece particularly captivating.
An endlessly fascinating example, from its architecture to its dial to its rarity. The watch is accompanied by its Audemars Piguet pin buckle and an extract from the AP archives.
What You Should Know
Case has been polished previously, the hallmarks and engravings however still extremely sharp and deep. The dial as mentioned is showing patina throughout and the glass has many small scratches.
