Audemars Piguet Jules Audemars Chronograph in 18k White Gold Cream Dial with Original Warranty and Register Booklet ref. 26100BC

This handsome chronograph series was introduced in the Jules Audemars collection in 2008, featuring the first automatic-wound calibre in the line and paying homage to one of the company’s founders, Jules Louis Audemars.

 

This specimen features a satin-brushed 18k white-gold case measuring 41 mm, with elegant pushers and a display case back. We particularly adore this eggshell—or better yet, cream-coloured—dial, which carries distinct Art Deco details, such as the font used on the base-1000 outer scale and the romantic glossy black Arabic numerals.

 

Other notable details include the two recessed sub-dials, with a glossy black chronograph hand on the left counter and a polished metal hand on the right. Speaking of hands: they are blackened, with a spade-shaped hour hand and a minute hand that is reminiscent of a spear. A small splash of red on the minute track gives the dial a subtle touch of visual “pop”!

 

Another show-stopper is visible on the back of the watch, where you have a clear view of the calibre 3124, complete with a beautifully crafted gold rotor engraved and decorated with various elements—more lively detailing from AP.

 

The watch is paired with a lightly worn Audemars Piguet leather strap with an 18k white-gold AP folding clasp. Furthermore, this piece comes with its original AP warranty and registration certificate booklet, stating a sale in 2014 in New York City, United States. The watch has been fully serviced by our watchmaker and is ready for the years to come.

 

This watch should be a real contender if you are looking for an understated, beautiful, and currently somewhat undervalued luxury chronograph—get in touch!
