Who loves the Edward Piguet line ?
I do and here's why ! I wish you all a nice day. Best, Emmanuel A/ Platinum Perpetual Calendar, possibly Ref. 25682PT, sold by Antiquorum in 2023 Dimensions 27 x 45 mm & Caliber 2141/2806 credit: the eclecticum & antiquorum (last photo) B/ Rose Gold T...
I absolutely do 🙌🏻👌🏻👍🏻
And you have showcased two absolute gems from the line! A lot of the others have a suboptimal date window in my opinion, without that the selection of delectable ones would be a lot larger 😊
I agree that not all references are desirable,
but when they are, like these two 'absolute gems', as you say, they really rank very highly for me. And I'm glad you like them too! Best, Emmanuel
I understand why! A lot to love here.
Just the lumed hands I'm not completely fond of, personally, even if I agree that they work well with the overall design. Best, Emmanuel
Yes, great Art Deco design, this dial.
But I personally prefer the more minimalist design and 'less is more' aesthetic displayed above. Best, Emmanuel
I love, love that watch In fact the one you tried might have been mine..
Discovered by chance, picked up at auction at a favorable price and always made me smile But I just didn't wear it enough to make sense to keep It brought me great joy
Was in London, FWIW….
Glad you loved it for as long as you had it - and well done for not hoarding it and moving on once it made sense to!
I didn't know you had owned this piece!
I'm sure it felt very special, even if you eventually decided to part with it. Best, Emmanuel
Impressive piece.
But on the larger side (51 lug-to-lug), so not for every wrist. And I personally prefer the references with a more minimalist design. Just my personal taste, of course. Anyway, if it's yours, I imagine it gives you a lot of pleasure. Best, Emmanuel
Big yes, but draped nicely on my modest wrists
I've learned that I can't judge watch fit just by the numbers
Of course, numbers don't reflect the real hands-on experience.
Nice to know that it felt good on your wrist.
That time-only piece is really attractive. I find myself comparing it to a Cartier Tank Americaine…
but this AP speaks to me more. As a subtle point, I like the curvature of the crystal.
It speaks to me more too.
I think finding one for an affordable price is far from impossible. But I have a doubt concerning the ref. number: 77489? 15015? Even a serious dealer like Fabsuisse doesn't give any ref. number, unfortunately: https://fabsuisse.com/audemars-piguet-rectan...
Beautiful pieces!
Especially love the perpetual calendar. In other versions of this piece - the breguet numerals, for example the 12 is really cut off. The art deco numerals are very nice. The one you choose is my favorite. The strikes are small and really open up the dial...
Yes, this is my favorite version too.
And I agree that the PC is particularly attractive. Best, Emmanuel
Yes, sadly so!
But under appreciated watches can be found at lower prices and that's a good thing! Best, Emmanuel
They're good. But they're not great!
Great movements! But not all of them are superbly designed. Some models have the proportions off a little here and there. Of course, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
I agree with you, Patrick, that not all of them are greatly designed.
But I personally love the examples I've displayed here: for my personal taste, they're more than good! Best, Emmanuel
I think the 25682PT is nothing
short of fantastic! Sadly, a quick search did turn up no other references in this line nearly as appealing to me as the ones you’ve shown us. That first one, though… Thanks for feeding the dream machine. Cheers Marc
Yes, I chose the examples which I truly love and
I must agree that not all of them are greatly designed. But the platinum PC is simply wonderful. Best, Emmanuel
Me. Sadly, I have never owned one!
Maybe the salmon dial chronograph, one day. Great post my Friend, thank you!
A very rare bird!
I really wish AP would reintroduce a line with traditional flair, like the Edward Piguet, Jules Audemars or Millenary. Best, Emmanuel ...
Yes, I really miss these lines
and regret the narrowing of AP’s perspectives to RO and Code. Best, Emmanuel
A very beautiful piece, I really like it.
And I’m not sure if I would want another PC if I owned such a nice one. Thanks for sharing. Best, Emmanuel
