Audemars Piguet Jules Audemars Hand-wound Skeleton watch

The Audemars Piguet Jules Audemars Hand-wound Skeleton watch is a breathtaking dress timepiece for connoisseurs of mechanical watches. Based upon the foundation of the classical Jules Audemars round watch case, the Hand-wound skeleton watch reveals the mastery of Audemars Piguet's watchmakers in creating haute horlogerie of extraordinary beauty.

The dial of this Audemars Piguet timepiece has been entirely eliminated in its central section; only the outer periphery remains, which has been given a fine guilloche pattern, and hour markers crafted from 18k gold. The cutout dial allows the observer to admire the extraordinary open-worked and skeletonized Manufacture AP 3090 caliber movement, whose delicate structure of gold-plated bridges has been decorated and engraved entirely by hand with floral motifs. Audemars Piguet has eliminated the majority of metal in the movement, resulting in a mechanism which can be seen all the way through; key structures, such as the mainspring barrel, balance wheel and the steel parts of the keyless winding works can all be identified and their delicate motions admired.

The Audemars Piguet Jules Audemars Hand-wound Skeleton watch has an elegant round case which is crafted from 18K pink gold or 18K white gold; its satisfying craftsmanship is readily apparent in flawless transitions between satin brushed surfaces on the sides, and the highly polished areas on the lugs and the bezel. The timepiece's moderate case size of 36mm makes it equally suitable for both men or women who value extraordinary quality tempered by discretion. The Audemars Piguet Jules Audemars Hand-wound Skeleton watch is completed by a luxurious crocodile strap and an 18K gold ardillon-style buckle bearing the AP initials.
