The auction description provides a formal grading for the individual components of the watch. The case, movement, and dial are all categorized as 'As new' or '1-01', indicating the preservation of the watch's physical state. The hands are reported as original to the timepiece.
- Movement and Functionality
- Internally, the watch is equipped with the Audemars Piguet Caliber 2866. This manual-wind movement is rhodium plated and adorned with fausses-côtes decoration. It contains 32 jewels and utilizes a lever escapement. The monometallic balance is adjusted to heat, cold, isochronism, and five positions. Additionally, it features a shock absorber and a self-compensating flat balance spring. The minute repeating functionality is distinct from the primary timekeeping, operated by a slide mounted on the side of the case band. The movement is fully signed, ensuring consistency with the overall branding of the dial and case components.
