SOLD
Description
Up for grabs is an exceedingly rare chronograph made by one of top brands in the world – Audemars Piguet. This particular chronograph was made in the 1940s, and was signed by the retailer – Gobbi Milan – who were based out of Milan, Italy. The dial features a 1000 base tachymeter scale that is also in blue with matching light blue central chronograph seconds hand. The champagne dial features Art-Deco style applied numerals, with an oversized 6 and 12 o’clock. The case features a large winding crown, oval pushers and downturned lugs. Inside this piece is the Valjoux 13”’ VZ – that features a gilt-finished highly jewelled lever movement and a Bi-metallic compensation balance. It is unknown how many of these pieces were produced, but in our research, we can only find less than a handful of examples on the internet.
This Audemars Piguet chronograph is in good vintage condition. The case is well-preserved, likely lightly polished in the past. The dial shows some wear/aging around the edges of the dial, but is overall very attractive and legible.
The watch is accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity from Audemars Piguet.
