The skill required for skeletonizing is impressive,
Considering the height of Cal. 2003.
I especially enjoy the tricky Audemars Piguet signature on the movement.
Another vintage AP beauty.
Interesting that it doesn’t have any labels on the dial… unless I can’t see it.
Even more impressive that they didn’t need to have it on the front 👌🏽
So I’m guessing this is a precursor to the modern RO skeletons (15305,15407, and other more complicated versions) that everyone goes crazy for. Yours is the original.😍
Truly amazing, thank you 👏🏽
I wonder how far back skeleton dials can be traced back. Given what I’ve seen, I would not be surprised to learn of some degree of skeletonization going back to the 1800s. Fascinating topic for me given how much I love skeleton dials.
