[Re]Master01 "Limited edition of 500"

One of only 500 pieces made in 2020, this is Audemars Piguet's boldest love-letter to its history. When a 2-tone ref. 1533 from 1941 sold at our second ever Geneva auction, the collector community couldn't have predicted they would ever have a chance to buy a [Re]mastered edition half a decade later. More than just an insipration, the 1533 has provided a very clear blueprint for this modern interpretation. Re-creating historical designs with modern production methods is notoriously difficult, but the attention to detail here is second to-none and the painstakingly matched dial works perfectly (look at the lovely thin fonts in the AP script and numerals!) Upsized to 40mm to accommodate the modern, in-house automatic 4409 calibre movement, but the super slim bezel and teardrop lugs wear extremely well wrist. From the original owner and presented with its AP presentation box only.
