Introduction

Representing AP’s very roots as a traditional watchmaker, the Jules Audemars collection has often been AP’s vehicle to demonstrate their innovative talents as one of horology’s best watchmakers. Featuring a stunning symmetrical white dial with applied golden Roman numerals and a running seconds subdial at 6 o’clock, the ref. 77208OR’s white display features no suggestion of the incredibly well-finished movement that lies beneath it. Housed within a 27mm 18kt rose gold case that contrasts a polished bezel with a beautiful satin-brushed midcase, the ref. 77208OR is intensely refined and elegant on the wrist, as AP utilized the Jules Audemars collection to create a ladies watch that offered a level of craftsmanship that is seldom seen within the women’s watches. Boasting an exhibition caseback to showcase its finely finished manual-wind cal. 3090 movement, the ref. 77208OR is a wonderful example of AP’s talents as a luxury watchmaker, and the Jules Audemars collection as the vehicle through which AP demonstrate those talents.

THE DIAL
THE DIAL

Understated at first glance, the ref. 77208OR's silver dial features a guilloche engraved texture and applied Roman numerals that give its display a wonderful sense of luxury.

THE CONSTRUCTION
THE CONSTRUCTION

A lady's watch made to the exacting standards that they hold their men's watches, the ref. 77208OR features a 27mm 18kt rose gold case that houses the finely-finished manual-wind cal. 3090 movement as opposed to a quartz movement, which women's watches are normally powered by.

TIMING MACHINE READOUT
TIMING MACHINE READOUT

This reading was taken (crown down) with a ONEOF Accuracy Boutique Edition timing machine at time of cataloging. It is provided as a courtesy only, and shall not be construed as a warranty or guarantee of any kind. Please refer to our terms and conditions of sale for more information.

Condition

Watch is in overall excellent condition. The rose gold case remains excellent, with light surface marks visible throughout and a pleasing patina across the surface. Crisp hallmarks and stamps remain visible on the non-crown side. The display case back retains very well-defined stamps. The bezel shows light surface scratches and a couple of small nicks. The dial and hands remain near mint. It is fitted with a burgundy crocodile strap and a rose gold Audemars Piguet pin buckle, both remaining in excellent condition. Comes complete with inner and outer boxes, warranty booklet, booklets, and the original sales receipt.

Please Note: Due to CITES considerations, if the watch is to be shipped outside of the USA, the exotic skin strap will have to be removed.

Our Perspective

Taking AP's watchmaking talents and focusing them into a lady's watch, the ref. 77208OR is an impressive timepiece that gives women access to a piece of real horological engineering, and not just a quartz-powered watch dressed up with gems.
