Audemars Piguet Philosophique 18k Ultra Thin 1980s

Audemars Piguet Philosophique - Ultra-Thin Single-Hand Concept (1980s) The Audemars Piguet Philosophique is one of the most unconventional and thought-provoking designs ever produced by the manufacture. Created in the 1980s, this rare reference challenges traditional timekeeping with its single-hand display and a rotating inner case, allowing for a unique dual-time functionality. Crafted in 18k yellow gold, the elegant 31 mm ultra-slim case houses a clean white/silver dial, emphasizing simplicity and clarity. The minimalist layout reflects the watch’s philosophical approach: reducing time to its essence. Inside beats the legendary Audemars Piguet Cal. 2003, one of the thinnest mechanical movements ever made. Originally developed by Jaeger-LeCoultre and finished by Audemars Piguet, this caliber represents the pinnacle of ultra-thin watchmaking and remained among the slimmest movements on the market for decades. A rare collector’s piece that combines technical innovation, design minimalism, and horological history - true to its name, a watch that invites you to rethink time itself. - wrist size in our picture is 18cm circumference - DIAL: original never touched white/silver dial in flawless condition original hand & crown STRAP & BUCKLE: red aftermarket leather strap fitting up to 20 cm wrist size / 1.2 mm thick original 18k yellow gold Audemars Piguet buckle Please note: Strap made from materials subject to CITES regulations cannot be shipped by us across international customs borders.
