Audemars Piguet

Some of you may recall I bought a Cartier Santos-Dumont skeleton for my son's wedding last year (see the picture below):

Well....guess what...it's my daughter's turn next week....what a convenient excuse for another acquisition!

This is what I took home today - Jules Audemars Extra-thin in white gold - another elegant yet dressy piece. Let the pictures speak:

The watch (at 39 mm in diameter, it is an older version of AP's latest novelties but you know my inability to resist Roman indices...):

The movement, seen through the sapphire crystal and caseback (19 jewels, 34-hour power reserve, 138 parts, manually wound)

For the black tie function:

Another one:

Justifying the model's name:

Really thin....

Now that both my children got married, an uncanny feeling of loneliness begins to set in (I am sure I am not the only one).

Finally, here is a picture of the happy couple (I am sure my daughter won't mind me posting this picture - taken at the beautiful Bvlgari Resort in Bali).

Hope you share my happiness.

To the newly weds and to the acquirer of a cool watch!

Yes....cool indeed.

 

Congratulations.  

You have many reasons to be happy!

Now about that AP...is the caliber inside the cal. 2003?  Do you happen to know the thickness of the watch and the referecne number for this one? I know you mentioned that this is an older version of the Ultra-thins AP is offering now, so I gather this one is no longer available new...? It is really beautiful.  What a great addition to your collection.  Congratulations that, as well.

 

Best,

First of all, thanks.

To answer your questions:

The caliber is 2049.

Thickness is 6.2 mm

The reference number is 15093BC.OO.A002CR.01

I understand the model is three years old but is still featured in AP's official web site. I have seen the watch with at least one AD that I know. There are altogether 5 variations. The latest versions are automatic. They are 41 mm in diameter and 6.7 mm in thickness, and do not have Roman indices.

I know you are one very proud Papa!

The venue you showed is absolutely mesmerizing.  I know it was a fantastic day for you.

The watch is a perfect match for a collector of impeccable taste.

Best,

The resort is indeed fantastic (above pictures taken from the web) and offers a romantic setting for weddings...

My children do love watches - my son wears a Panerai and my daughter, a Cartier tank plus a JLC Reverso...

They both live nearby (HK is a small place)

...on the watch, but more importantly on your daughter's happy day.  I wish her and her new husband many, many years of happiness together.

How do you like the dogs?

 

Are those your daughter and son-in-law's pups?  Are they Yorkshire Terriers (on the right) and Shih Tzus (on the left)?  Soooo cute!

Love the photo! 

Cheers,
