To me, vintage Audemars Piguet is one of the most exciting, underappreciated, and beautiful categories of watches to study and collect. Today, we’ve prepared for you a highly detailed recap of a full day that we spent with the team at Audemars Piguet digging through some of their most important and beautiful early-20th-century pieces. Included in the video above and the story below are some absolutely mind-blowing early grand complication pocket watches, super slim minute repeaters, and seriously the most beautiful chronographs I’ve ever seen. In fact, I would venture to guess that many of you did not even know AP made watches like what you’re about to see at any point, and I have no doubt in my mind you will be left duly impressed. Let’s get into it. For more, go to http://www.hodinkee.com/blog/inside-the-archives-of-audemars-piguet

Wish AP would go back to these type of watches instead of the royal oaks
Great video, such beautiful complications. Please don’t spoil it by mentioning Archie Luxury and his Big W $12 business shirts and fake luxury luggage.
This is Fancy Watches

I’m a piguet
One of the world most expensive watches.
Pure Horology!!! Amazing!!!
They need to make a smartwatch…
i had no idea audemars used to make beautiful, elegant watches. i thought it was just chunky, ugly royal oaks!
I like how these two guys spent the entire length of the video romanticising the good old days and forget to mention AP’s most popular offering is the RO Offshore, a watch so tasteless and gaudy it is literally the opposite of class.

Great to see why AP is great before the Royal Oak came into existence.
