Essay
This pocket watch showcases the pinnacle of watchmaking craftsmanship and ingenuity, encompassing the three essential components that collectors and experts identify as a "Grande Complication": a minute repeater, a perpetual calendar with a moonphase, and a split-seconds complication.
In the realm of technical expertise, Audemars Piguet has demonstrated itself as one of the leaders of the watchmaking industry since 1875. The company has not only crafted astonishingly intricate watches under its own brand but has also supplied movements to other companies.
