Notes

Property of the original Swiss owner
Made in a few variations, this is the rarer version where the bottom section of the dial is hand-engraved with floral patterns rather than the more common plain guilloche. We have only ever had two other example over 20 years of this variation in pink gold. It is only a question of time before this unusual design by Audemars Piguet becomes a classic as has already been reflected in the recent auction results.
