The Audemars Piguet Edward Piguet Chronograph watch is a stunning high luxury timepiece with impressive visual presence, and a finely crafted selfwinding movement. The striking rectangular case of this watch pays respects to Edward Piguet, who co-founded the house of Audemars Piguet in 1875. Crafted from 18K pink or white gold, it recalls the glamorous elegance of the Art Deco era, and demonstrates sublime finishing contrasts between brushed and polished surfaces; the gently arched bezel frames the shaped sapphire crystal flawlessly, accentuating the richly detailed dials, which are offered in two distinctive renditions.
The movement of this Audemars Piguet timepiece is truly outstanding, offering both lavish haute horlogerie finishing, and a sophisticated chronograph mechanism. The AP 2385 Caliber, based upon the celebrated, slender Frederic Piguet 1185 movement, offers a chronograph mechanism governed by a column-wheel; thanks to a vertical clutch mechanism, the various sequences of the chronograph operation are extraordinarily smooth, with minimal potential for backlash from the chronograph central seconds hand. This fine caliber has been extensively decorated by the skilled Audemars Piguet watchmakers, and its massive central rotor is crafted entirely from 21-K gold, both to highlight its exclusive craftsmanship, as well as provide optimal mass for efficient winding. With a fully-wound power reserve of approximately 40 hours, this caliber also supports a rapidly adjustable date display, and a continuously running indication of subsidiary seconds.
The Audemars Piguet Edward Piguet Chronograph watch is available with a dressy, extremely classic dial which displays a beautiful serpentine-pattern guilloche texture and Breguet numerals and leaf-shaped hands, or a more contemporary alternative, which features bold Arabic numerals and sword-styled hands. These distinguished chronograph timepieces are completed by a crocodile strap and an elegant 18K gold AP folding clasp.
