What We Love
It’s uncommon to see this reference in platinum, just 128 pieces were produced. The case remains in wonderfully honest condition, with deep hallmarks and crisp lines, showing signs of wear that reflect genuine enjoyment over time.
While much of the market’s attention is on skeleton and Tuscan Audemars Piguet Quantième Perpétuel models, this particular variant is rarely encountered and comes at a notably more accessible price point. The Roman numeral dial is especially charming, offering an understated look on the wrist.
The dial itself is clean and featuring a bright, matte white finish. The golden moonphase stands out nicely, while the pointed serif fonts lend a subtle vintage character. Based on the serial, the watch dates to the transition period between the old and new logos, around the late C series into the early D series, when examples can be found with either. This piece features the newer style logo, distinguished by the taller “A” and “P” at 6 o’clock.
It comes complete with its original platinum pin buckle and green folder box set. All in all, it represents a compelling and great opportunity within the steadily rising APQP market.
What You Should Know
The case back shows light scratches consistent with age and regular wear, likely from being placed on hard surfaces over time. I don’t believe the watch to be unpolished however the engravings and hallmarks show very little wear.
