Notes

The Jules Audemars watch collection from Audemars Piguet is a beautiful tribute to Jules Audemars, the watchmaker who co-founded the Audemars Piguet watch manufactory in 1875 and dedicated himself to the creation of the world?s finest watches. The Grande Complication immediately became the trademark of the Maison.
