This handsome Art Deco-period pocket watch was created by a firm considered to be the leader in "haute horology", Audemars Piguet of Le Brassus, Switzerland. Retailed by E. Gübelin of Lucerne, this fantastic, open-faced timepiece is housed in its elegant 14K gold case and indicates the time on a fine enamel dial detailed with Art Deco-styled numerals. Crafted by one of the most prestigious watchmakers in the world and retailed by a global leader in fine watches and jewels, this pocket watch is a most desirable timepiece indeed.
Founded in 1875 by watchmakers Jules-Louis Audemars and Edward-Auguste Piguet, the firm of Audemars Piguet is considered a world-leader in haute, or high horology. Counted as one of the oldest watch manufacturers, the firm is known for its technological "firsts", including creating the world's thinnest watch, the smallest repeater movement, the first skeleton watch and the first wrist minute repeater. Today, watches by this legendary Swiss firm are among the most sought-after timepieces by connoisseurs worldwide.
