We present this exceptionally refined and rare Audemars Piguet calendar dress watch, that is a statement piece for those who appreciate both tradition and fine engineering.
This watch embodies the essence of classic dress watch aesthetics in an understated manner, highlighted by a sleek, minimalist dial that showcases a discreet calendar function.
It is quadruple signed and excellently preserved with a fully working calibre, a mint dial, a strong case and an original buckle mounted on a signed strap.
Please read the condition report carefully and refer to the high-resolution pictures to help you assess the overall condition of the watch.
MODEL / REFERENCE: Audemars Piguet “Classic” calendar dress watch in 18k yellow gold, reference BA25660. The watch dates from circa the year 2000.
DIAL+ HANDS: The minimalist, silver dial is immaculate all the way through to the sunken subdial at 6 o’clock that contains the calendar display.
The black imprint is sharp and complete, from the text to the minutes track and Arabic numerals.
The slender golden hands are original and correct. They are in great condition, with a touch of very light oxidation layer on the surface.
CRYSTAL: The flat, scratch-proof sapphire crystal appears to be original.
CASE: The elegant, solid yellow gold case is in very good condition. Measuring 32mm in diameter and 35.5mm lug to lug. Its modest dimensions are instantly eclipsed with the elegantly simple design of its angled bezel and downturned lugs.
It remains strong despite being lightly polished, displaying an alternating shiny top and satin finish on side, along with few light scratches consistent with careful wear.
CASEBACK: The double-stepped and pressure-fit yellow gold case back is in lovely, untouched condition. It retains its original finish and shows some subtle fine scratches.
The center portion bears a very legible serial number, along with some crisp hallmarks.
The inner side is clean, surrounded by a gasket, and shows a period-correct nomenclature.
MOVEMENT: The outstanding Cal.2080 is an inhouse, manually wound movement that features a calendar complication. It is decorated and has been adjusted to cold, heat, Isochronism, as well as 5 positions.
This Rhodium plated movement is clean and fully functional thus it winds smoothly, keeps accurate time and the date changes as intended.
CROWN: Unsigned yellow gold crown of the correct shape. It operates flawlessly, from winding to time setting.
BRACELET: 18mm Genuine black leather strap with crocodile motif that bears the AP name. It comes complete with its signed yellow gold pin buckle.
