Fresh from the showcase here at SwissWatchExpo. Today,
I have a classic and elegant Audemars Piguet watch. It's definitely from a previous era,
but I think it's poised to make a comeback. And I'm going to tell you why right now, I
always keep an eye on the new arrivals when they come to SwissWatchExpo. And the second we opened
up this watch and got it out of the package, I pretty much instantly put it aside and said,
'Let's save this one for the YouTube channel.' And I'm definitely glad we did. This is a very
unique watch that we received today and Audemars Piguet ladies watch. I think they consider this
a unisex watch, at least when it came out, but this is definitely from an earlier era,
but I think now it's definitely a beautiful and a very ostentatious white gold ladies piece,
as it stands now. This has sort of an ellipse type shape, definitely reminiscent of like a golden
ellipse from Patek Philippe. But you'll notice a couple of things that are very different about
this watch. Mainly, I've seen, there is actually two rows of diamonds on this bezel, and of course
you can't ignore it. A full pave set diamond dial, as well as Sapphire hour markers.
This is definitely a watch that pops. It's got a very major bling factor here.
Another main highlight of this watch is this beautiful, integrated textured bracelet. The
detail on here is incredible and I'm hoping we can get some closeups that is really going
to show the incredible handwork detail on this. This is something you'd expect from a watchmaker
like Audemars Piguet. This is definitely one of the finest watchmakers in all of the world. And
even though this is a quartz movement, you can tell they definitely sort of flexed their luxury
muscles in some other ways on this watch as well, particularly the diamond setting on this dial.
These are, I believe, one and three quarter carat diamonds I saw per the papers that we have, which
is an incredible high-quality. And when you figure it is completely over every surface of this dial
case, and bezel as definitely going to be a very very gorgeous and elegant type of watch without
being too terribly loud. I think one of the things I love about this, and you definitely see it in
the textured pattern on this bracelet here is just how subtle it is being an all white gold piece.
You could imagine if the same thing or if this same model existed in a rose or a yellow gold,
the contrast between the pave diamond dial and the bezel would just would just be so incredibly loud.
It's such a very ostentatious piece. Really. Once you focus your eyes away from this pave set dial,
it is an incredibly subtle type of piece in the way that these lines go together
and the way that the brightness of the of the dial and bezel against the more muted tones
of this finish on the bracelet, it's just such an incredibly unique watch.
And another thing I love about it so much, and again, this is why just at least 15 - 20 years
old, based on the fact that this was when AP was making the quartz models in this size,
but a 34 x 30 watch is, an incredible modern size for a ladies watch. This has very much
a big cocktail watch type of a shape, but it's sort of been scaled up to more modern tastes.
And that's why I think this is going to be a very special watch for some lady who was going to want
to put this on your wrist. This is definitely a special occasion watch. Although if you have
that type of flare, you can certainly wear this every day. Although you were definitely
going to get a ton of attention with this watch on your wrist. We've also got the papers for this
watch, which is incredibly rare considering APs from this era, they don't often get passed down.
So this is also going to be an incredible collector's piece and an heirloom piece that
you'd want to pass down for generations to come. So we have this watch a lot of other
really interesting pieces, really unique one-offs that I've never seen before, as well as of course,
all of the staples that you know and love, and you need to add to your collection. So
