Notes
Another unicorn in the world of Audemars Piguet, the reference 25563, this example was purchased new by the current owner. A wonderful example of a skeletonised chronograph featuring a step bezel and a hand-engraved movement. Despite being produced from around 1981 to 1993, only 56 examples were ever produced in yellow gold. Preserved in excellent condition with deep engravings and crisp hallmarks, a rare opportunity to acquire this unusual reference by the manufacture.
Provenance
Property of a German Gentleman
