The Ultra-Complicated Audemars Piguet 150e Héritage Pocket Watch
The Audemars Piguet 150e Héritage Pocket Watch is a remarkable celebration of the brand's 150th anniversary, designed as a tribute to its historical ultra-complicated pocket watches. Featuring a 50mm platinum case, the watch incorporates a new movement, Calibre 1150, along with an innovative Universal Calendar mechanism that integrates solar, lunar, and lunisolar cycles into a single display. The watch's design emphasizes ergonomic usability, with crown-pushers and correctors optimized for comfort and ease of use, while its hand-engraved details and fine craftsmanship reflect Audemars Piguet's dedication to artistry and precision. This pocket watch is not only a functional timepiece but also a complex mechanical marvel, boasting 47 functions and 30 complications, including a Grande Sonnerie, split-seconds flyback chronograph, and a semi-Gregorian perpetual calendar. The Universal Calendar operates independently of the main movement, providing a comprehensive overview of astronomical and cultural cycles. With only two unique pieces produced in platinum and additional variations in white gold planned, this exquisite watch represents a blend of advanced horological technology and timeless elegance, with pricing available upon request.
