Design
- Dial and Hands
- The watch presents a light pearl-toned dial configured without a running seconds hand. Time is indicated by dark baton hands pointing to raised black baton hour markers around the periphery. Dial text includes the upper signature 'AUDEMARS, PIGUET / GENEVE' positioned below the 12 o'clock marker, 'Automatic' rendered in cursive script above the 6 o'clock marker, and 'SWISS' at the bottom edge. The seller notes that the dial finish is a 'possibly old professional restoration.'

- Reported Movement and Dating
- The seller states that the watch contains an Audemars Piguet caliber K2120 full-rotor automatic movement based on the Jaeger-LeCoultre caliber 920, running on 36 jewels and featuring a solid 21K gold rotor. The vendor reports that the movement was serviced in 2020. The circa 1967 dating is attributed by the seller to movement and case serial numbers, which the seller associates with the caliber's first year of market release. Because the case interior and movement are not depicted in the provided visual record, these mechanical specifications, condition reports, and chronological claims remain source-reported.
