Introduction

Famed for their aggressively avant-garde take on design and aesthetics, Audemars Piguet has long been known to blend aspects of their history with their own take on horology. As a result, timepieces that feature both - period-defining designs and aspects of AP’s historical DNA can be produced, just like this ref. 4126 example. Featuring an elongated octagonal case, that takes a degree of inspiration from the Royal Oak’s octagonal case; an avant-garde piece of design for the period, this 18kt white gold timepiece is both luxurious and aesthetically unique. Boasting a black diamond-set dial with an intricately-finished woven-style construction that encapsulates its bezel, case and integrated bracelet; this timepiece blends AP’s love of opulence with their desire to celebrate their unique designs. Powered by a wonderfully thin manual-wind movement, this timepiece ensures that AP’s clientele could enjoy AP’s high level of horology within a timepiece that features a delicate construction that breaks away from the conventional design of the time, such as that reflected in traditional dress watches. With a beautifully intricate and opulent sense of design achieved through its immaculately woven bracelet and beautiful diamonds spotted across its dial, this timepiece will make a wonderful addition to any collection.
