Audemars Piguet Ultra Slim White Gold, 1970s

Dealer description — Huntington Company

History & Significance While Audemars Piguet is most often associated today with the Royal Oak, the brand’s mastery of haute horlogerie dates back long before its iconic sports watch. For much of the 20th century, Audemars Piguet was renowned for its ultra-slim dress watches, intricate calendars, and meticulously finished movements. Before the Royal Oak, Audemars Piguet was already producing exquisite, solid gold cocktail and evening watches, elegant, slim, and designed to represent discreet excellence. These pieces showcase the brand’s refined case work, precise finishing, and in-house mechanical calibers, reminding collectors that AP’s greatness extends well beyond the realm of sports watches. Writer’s Thoughts There’s something inherently satisfying about a simple, well-made dress watch. The warmth of the aged silver dial, the clean typography of the Roman numerals, and the thin case profile give it a sophistication that doesn’t need to announce itself. This is the kind of watch that quietly impresses, both for what it is and for what it represents, the refined side of Audemars Piguet that some collectors often overlook. Our Promise Every watch is thoroughly vetted, carefully described with complete transparency, and guaranteed authentic. Each piece is offered in honest condition, ensuring collectors receive a timepiece that reflects both originality and integrity.
