Audemars Piguet Edward Piguet Selfwinding watch

The Audemars Piguet Edward Piguet Selfwinding watch is an dashing Art Deco-inspired tribute to Edward Piguet, co-founder of Audemars Piguet. Crafted exclusively from 18K white or pink gold, the massive 29 X 46mm case of this Audemars Piguet watch demonstrates great elegance and extraordinary attention to detail; the stepped lugs of this timepiece are given a lustrous polish, while the sides of the case are attractively contrasted by a vertically-grained brushed texture. Audemars Piguet offers the Edward Piguet Selfwinding watch with two distinct dial choices. The first is more classical, with an intricate wave-patterned guilloche pattern, and Breguet-style numerals and leaf-shaped hands. The other dial presents a more contemporary impression, with "exploded" luminous Arabic numerals and sword-shaped hands.

The craft of the Audemars Piguet Edward Piguet Selfwinding watch is equally impressive beneath the dial. The selfwinding AP 2225 Caliber movement, based upon the excellent Jaeger-LeCoultre 889 caliber, has a power-reserve of approximately 42 hours, as well as a rapidly adjustable date display. This movement demonstrates a high degree of classical finissage, including perlage on the plates, Cotes de Geneve patterns on the bridges, and anglage chamfering on all edges. The central bi-directional winding rotor also features a 21K gold peripheral segment; this added mass improves the efficiency of the winding motion. Audemars Piguet offers the Edward Piguet Selfwinding watch with either a fine, remborded crocodile strap or an intricately detailed 18K gold bracelet, complete with a concealed deployant clasp.
