Dial Display and Complications

The watch features a silvered dial with an off-center upper display utilizing applied pink gold Arabic numerals and baton indices for timekeeping. Flanking this register are two subsidiary dials: an analog date indicator calibrated from 1 to 31 on the right, and a power-reserve indicator marked up to 52 on the left. At the 6 o'clock position, an open aperture displays a rotating tourbillon carriage with a central balance wheel. The dial is signed 'AUDEMARS PIGUET' below 12 o'clock, inscribed 'TOURBILLON AUTOMATIC' above the 6 o'clock aperture, and marked 'SWISS MADE' along the lower edge.

Case Construction and Exterior Details

The wristwatch is housed in a 39 mm pink gold circular case configured with straight lugs and a smooth, stepped bezel. Christie's records the case number as 'E42544, N°18'. The watch is mounted on a beige textured leather strap with matching stitching, and Christie's reports that it is fitted with a signed Audemars Piguet pink gold deployant clasp. While visual observation confirms the stepped bezel architecture and case geometry, the reverse of the case is not visible in the primary photograph. Christie's condition report notes that the case exhibits minor signs of wear and the case back shows signs of wear, though specific engravings or construction details of the case back are not detailed in the source listing.

Movement Mechanism and Documentation Limits

Christie's cataloguing lists the movement as an automatic mechanism operating with a 'Hammer-Winding' system, driving tourbillon, power-reserve, and date functions. The auctioneer's condition report states that the movement was ticking and all functions were working at the time of cataloguing, though a service was recommended. The source dates the piece to circa the 2000s ('CIRCA: 2000s'). Christie's also records that the lot is accompanied by neither original presentation packaging nor documentation ('BOX: No' and 'PAPERS: No').
