The first automatic chronograph in the Jules Audemars collection is one of the novelties Audemars Piguet which will be presented at the forthcoming SIHH in Geneva. The cream-coloured dial sports the typical look of the 1920s, as evidenced by the refined leaf hands and rounded Arabic hour markers. A touch of liveliness is provided by the red of the chapter ring indications, framed by the tachymeter scale on the flange. The 18-carat white gold case houses a self-winding mechanical movement, calibre 3124/3841 (manufacture base and Dubois Dépraz chronograph plate), with a gold oscillating weight decorated with the Audemars and Piguet family insignia, all visible through the sapphire crystal on the caseback. The strap is made of black crocodile with large square scales, closed by an 18-carat white gold folding clasp. For further information: Audemars Piguet Italy, tel. 02/66985117.
