Est. $95,000-$100,000 Audemars Piguet 150th Anniversary Jules Audemars Tourbillon Power Reserve 18K Rose Gold 40mm Watch W/Original Alligator Band, Box & Papers - This handsome, historic timepiece was introduced by Audemars Piguet in 2001 to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the birth of one of the founding fathers of the brand who was a true pioneer in the field of complications, Jules Audemars. This watch is truly a must have for any watch enthusiast, as it is incredibly hard to find and is sold out everywhere. The watch features a 40mm solid 18k rose gold case with a polished lip around the bezel and case back, and a satin finish around the side of the piece. The stunning watch also has a luxurious satin dial with a unique combination of large fully lumed Arabic numerals and broad sword hands, large tri-spoke black polished continuously rounded titanium tourbillion cage and bridge, balanced registers for the 54 hour power reserve at 8 o'clock and date subdial at 4 o'clock. The back of the case is equally as substantial as the dial, with the Audemars Piguet coat of arms with a ribbon reading "150 ANS" and "JULES AUDEMARS" against a beautifully engraved background, and a functioning pull-out case back winder. The watch has an automatic movement, original black alligator strap with rose gold AP deployant buckle, and will come housed in the original box with papers. The watch is in near mint condition and measures 9.5" in length.
