Notes

The movement of this watch was created to obtain a chronometry certificate. The indications of the leap year, the months for four years and the outer date graduation were extremely rare to find at this period. This watch is published on the cover page and page 234 in Audemars Piguet by G. Brunner, C. Pfeiffer-Belli and M. Wehrli.
