Audemars Piguet Jules Audemars

Audemars Piguet Jules Audemars The 39 mm case made of 18-carat white gold maintains a remarkable elegance and discretion despite the enormous mechanical complexity inside. Mechanical Masterpiece: Tourbillon & Repetition The Tourbillon: At the 6 o'clock position, the dial reveals the flying tourbillon. It compensates for the negative effects of gravity on timekeeping accuracy and simultaneously serves as the optical center of mechanical dynamics. The Minute Repeater: A slider on the left side of the case activates the striking mechanism. Two gongs strike the hours, quarter hours, and minutes in a crystal-clear sound. The Dial: Made of solid silver with fine guilloché, it impresses with blued steel hands and Roman numerals. The symmetry is emphasized by the precise placement of the tourbillon cage. The Manufacture Movement: Caliber 2874 The centerpiece is the Caliber 2874 with manual winding, a proprietary development consisting of over 400 individual parts. Data: The movement beats at a frequency of 21,600 vibrations per hour (3 Hz) and has a power reserve of approximately 48 hours. Exclusivity: Due to the complexity of assembly and acoustic regulation, only the smallest quantities of this reference were produced.
