A pretty special one from AP. The John Shaeffer minute repeater, reference 25760, was produced in 1995 with just 48 examples made in total, only 15 of which were in yellow gold. This one is case number 2!
Nicknamed the Coussin Tortue, or turtle cushion, thanks to its unusual case shape. It's a lovely compact watch at just 33/34mm across and only 10mm thick, pretty impressive considering there's a minute repeater tucked away inside.
The condition is about as good as you could hope for. The case has a gorgeous mix of brushed and highly polished surfaces, all beautifully preserved. The dial is another highlight with its Breguet numerals, white eggshell texture and lovely crisp black printing.
We're also big fans of the open caseback, giving you a proper view of the movement inside. The finishing is lovely, the engravings and hallmarks are all nice and crisp and, most importantly, the repeater sounds beautiful.
A seriously rare AP with plenty of character. We love the unusual case shape, the compact size and the fact that it's a minute repeater you could quite happily wear every day.
Condition is near perfect with just some light hairlines from use. The original AP pin buckle is present and the watch comes watch only.
