Audemars Piguet Philosophie Ref. 4289

Introducing the special Audemars Piguet model, one of the world’s three great watch brands: ref. 4289 Philosophy. The case moves when the sapphire at 12 o’clock is operated. It offers a firm, satisfying feel and smooth operation. This feel is achieved through bearings, a solid-gold case, and resin, and the overall construction gives a strong impression of careful craftsmanship. The time difference can be adjusted when traveling. Although it may be unclear how often this function will be used, it is an engaging mechanism that makes you want to operate it. The original Strap and Buckle are included. The Case Size is a compact 31 mm, yet it has an elegant presence without feeling too small. It is equipped with Cal. 2003, a foundational thin movement. This is a highly distinctive one-hand model within the Audemars Piguet collection. Turning the bezel rotates the case, providing a GMT function. While the bezel usually rotates, this model is characterized by the case itself moving. In 1982, Audemars Piguet deliberately introduced this model in response to quartz watches, reviving the early method of measuring time with a single hour hand, a system used until the beginning of the 18th century. It was an ambitious creation that questioned people’s perception of the passage of time. In 2019, AP also created a reissue of the Philosophy in its Millenary collection. A Deployant Buckle can be included for an additional charge. See the 13th image. Product price +200,000 yen (tax included) The Deployant Buckle is not included at the current price. This is an 18k genuine AP part, a Deployant Buckle with the special shape used at the time, designed to fit the current Strap. The Buckle is a genuine 18k Audemars Piguet part with an AP engraving, and the Strap is also original.
