Audemars Piguet

Since I've been focusing on Minute Repeaters yesterday (Patek's 7047G and Gérald Genta's ref. EBFE01A1 ), here's another one from Audemars Piguet , which I like a lot. This is the Jules Audemars “ Répétition Minutes Heures Sautantes ” (Jumping Hours Minut...  

Thank you, Salman! Cheers, Emmanuel

there are so many treasures in the Jules Audemars line.

The dial, hands, movement, size are all so good. I’d be happy with it in either metal with a slight preference to platinum. Thanks for the post!

I’m glad you like it too and I understand your preference for platinum. Best, Emmanuel

What surprised me most seeing this in person was the depth and texture of the dial - the numerals were quite raised and three dimensional, and the dial itself had a rich frosting effect - both which can only be appreciated in person. On top of that - what...
