Fresh from the Showcase here at SwissWatchExpo. Today,
we have a couple of beautiful dressy and sophisticated Audemars Piguet watches in
rose gold. Super excited to show them to you. So let's get started.
Audemars Piguet, if you're following this channel, you probably know them, you may
or may not love them, but you certainly associate them with the Royal Oak. And it's an absolute icon
in the sports watch game, super iconic design, super iconic shape. And of course, one of the
most desirable and valuable sports watches on the market today. That has definitely been sort
of the focal point of the whole brand as far as the marketing that I've seen. AP does kind of owe
their entire continued existence to the Royal Oak. It sort of saved the brand from you know,
when the quartz crisis happened. And the future of Swiss watchmaking, in general,
was so far up in the air. At least of all Audemars Piguet, which I believe was close to bankruptcy
or liquidation at that point. And then the Royal Oak came completely revolutionized sports watches,
saved the brand, and has become one of the most iconic watches to date.
However, that does lead people to forget that Audemars Piguet was a very classic traditional
watchmaking brand and was originally known for their dress pieces and they still make
fantastic dress pieces. And we have a pair of those fantastic dress pieces today. It's the
Jules Audemars Extra Thin 41 millimeter. Now this line, not nearly as heralded as the Royal Oak is,
but much like the Royal Oak comes in a variety of different finishes, colors, dials, metals,
and complications. So just like the Royal Oak, they'd have tourbillon complications, perpetual,
and annual calendar complications. Audemars Piguet is one that once they have a design,
they pretty much throw everything they've got at it. And while the Royal Oak is super unique,
they do it very well in these Jules Audemars line. And if you're looking
for something more traditional, this is one of the finest options you can come across.
This is in beautiful rose gold. And one little thing about the brand here. I always confused
it with the JLC Ultra Thin. This is called the Extra Thin, JLC calls theirs the Ultra Thin,
which I actually found out was a bit of spirited competition between the two brands to see who
could create the thinnest dress watch. I think JLC might have won that particular competition but
they do make a fantastic modern piece and living up to its name Extra Thin at just 6.7 millimeters
thick. This is definitely an extra thin movement. We have two rose gold examples of these in stock
right now that I wanted to show you. Both with different dials. Otherwise, these are identical.
Personally, I'm drawn to this beautiful silver finish here. You get out more of the detail of
the dial, especially if you zoom in, that sort of sunburst grain finish that doesn't really show
up in the black, but they both look incredible in this 18-karat rose gold finish on the case.
The finish is beautiful. We've got a high polished bezel here with a satin edge,
which I think is almost inverted to most of the really high-end dress watches I
see. You tend to get more of a matted finish on the bezel most of the time,
but it really shines. You really get sort of a contrast between the grainy finish
onto this beautiful dial and the high polished rose gold finish on the bezel.
Case size, this is 40 millimeters in diameter, which is a really interesting choice.
It's definitely extra thin as the name implies and is definitely a testament to the quality
of watchmaking in this movement to put all this in such a thin case, but at the diameter-wise,
this is 41 millimeters across. So this is a modern dress watch by any measurement, really.
And at 41 millimeters, it's gonna have the wrist prominence to really sort of go with anywhere
you might want it to go. It wouldn't be a super casual sporty watch, but as far as any sort of
dress shirt, it'll fit under any dress shirt you might possibly have, which is really rare for a
watch that is this wide. So it's definitely super legible, not super petite or dressy. Definitely
not a unisex watch, although it could be used to that way of you really wanted to. But it
is just a fantastic-looking dress watch from one of the premier watchmakers in existence,
as I'm sure you know. But of course, we're not done talking about this beautiful watch
yet because there is one more feature I could not help but show you. This is a relatively
recent introduction into the Jules Audemars line, but they now come with a beautiful
exhibition case back displaying this movement. And unlike most dress watches with caliber
that is this thin this is still a very impressive movement to behold the rotor
beautiful pattern here almost sort of reminds me of, I don't know,
like a fence or something like that, but it is super, super transparent,
but still very beautiful. The rose gold matches perfectly with this case back. And it does say
Jules Audemars engraved on the back here. This is an incredible-looking automatic movement,
definitely a reliable machine. And it is super incredible to consider what this watch could do.
We don't have any of the super complicated ones in stock yet, but it is a great size as you see.
Would fit just about any wrist. And while this one is free of the complications, if you want a
simple-looking dress watch, this is definitely one to go. I think this could fit a variety of wrists.
So whether you tend to wear huge sport watches and are looking to sort of get into a dress watch,
that's not super petite and won't seem super underwhelming on your wrist, this is one. Because
dress watches in this size are rare, especially this then. And not really anything else you're
gonna get from a brand like Audemars Piguet. So of course, this is one of the many dress watches
we have Audemars is not particularly known for this, but such an incredible example. But
if you're looking to sort of up the dress watch game. Maybe you've got a sports watch collection
and you're looking for something a little bit more formal. We've got a ton. So whether AP
is your brand or one of any of the others, we've got so many dress watches with such a
beautiful variety of leather and lizard skin, and even more sporty cloth straps in stock. So
