Design
- Visible features
- • Round yellow gold bezel and straight lugs attached to a dark textured strap. • Off-white to silver dial with black Roman numerals and black index hands. • Dial signed 'AUDEMARS, PIGUET GENÈVE' under 12 o'clock and 'Automatic' above 6 o'clock. • Word 'SWISS' printed below the Roman numeral VI at 6 o'clock. • Fluted, apparently unsigned winding crown at the 3 o'clock position.
- Dial Inscriptions and Display
- The face presents a silver-white dial configuration fitted with black index hands and Roman numerals running from 1 to 12 along the hour track. Dial text includes the signature 'AUDEMARS, PIGUET GENÈVE' below 12 o'clock, with 'Automatic' positioned above 6 o'clock. Visual observation also confirms the word 'SWISS' printed directly below the Roman numeral VI at the bottom edge.
- Case Construction and Exterior Form
- The watch features a round case constructed in 18ct yellow gold, fitted with straight lugs extending from the case body. The seller records the case diameter at 34mm excluding the winding crown, which is positioned at 3 o'clock. Visible observation shows a yellow gold bezel and straight lugs attached to a dark textured strap. A fluted, apparently unsigned winding crown is located at the 3 o'clock position.
- Reported Mechanism and Documentation Discrepancies
- The seller dates the watch to circa 1974 and reports that it houses an Audemars Piguet Calibre K2120 36-jewel automatic movement. Internal movement markings, jewel count, and internal case references are not visible in the provided photograph and remain source-reported. A divergence exists regarding the fitted accessory. While the listing text specifies a 'High Quality Brown Lizard Strap with Plain Gold-Plated Buckle', the visible record depicts a dark or black textured strap.

Research required
- Research required: Internal movement and inner case back are not visible in the photograph; calibre K2120 and jewel count are source-reported.
- Research required: The source description lists a brown lizard strap, though the attached strap in the photograph appears very dark or black with a crococilian/reptile texture.
