Luxurious and classic Audemars Piguet 18K Solid Gold Mechanical Hand-Wind Mens Wristwatch with Rare X-Linked Bracelet.  We’ve rarely seen if ever seen this bracelet design and it’s really wonderful and unique.  On the caseback there is a hallmark for 451GB which is possibly the model or style reference.  The X-shaped links are very robustly built that they align straight vertically while being staggered horizontally.  The fine striped surface finishing on the bracelet makes it appear as raw mined gold that resembles vintage gold bracelets that incorporate gold ingots into their designs.  And yet this bracelet is 100% original to the watch with Audemars Piguet hallmarks on the buckle.  The head of the watch is also very luxurious and appealing with a dark chocolate dial encased in a cushion-shaped case.  As it must’ve been a very expensive watch back in the 1970s, this watch has extra luxury touches such as sapphire cabochon adorning the crown.  Inside the watch one of the most famous ultra-thin movements in the AP caliber 2003 is used as the timekeeper.  Based on Jaeger LeCoultre caliber 803, it was once the world’s thinnest watch movement and yet very durable and robust for its thinness.

CONDITION REPORT: Condition-wise the watch runs and sets but we have not had it serviced and do not offer timekeeping or longevity guarantee for vintage or antique timepieces, please perform service with reputable watchmaker at your own discretion.  PLEASE DO NOT EXPOSE IT TO MOISTURE OR DIP IT IN WATER AS IT IS NOT ASSUMED TO BE WATER RESISTANT.  Cosmetically the watch is in very good condition with near mint dial and the case and bracelet are all in wonderful shape.  The caseback gold screws have worn down, they can be replace or recut.  Dimension is 31mm (width) x 33mm (length).  The bracelet has two notches for adjustment and wears between 7.25-7.7” inches in length.  Total weight is 87.3g.  No box or paper, guaranteed 100% authentic.
