AMAZING Henry!! Warmest congratulations!
I have learned firsthand that while the watches are the best in the world, it is the people of Audemars Piguet that make the brand so special. Everything they do is handled with utmost professionalism, and the attention to detail goes far beyond the watches.
I am very pleased that a passionate collector had such a unique opportunity!

You have hit the nail on the head. Yes it's the PEOPLE for sure; from the creation to the sale of these watches and everyone involved in between. Thanks for the kind words and hope you are doing well!
Awesome Post and Pictures! I've got a couple of questions
Thank you so much for these great pictures. As many other watch collectors it would be a dream come true to visit a factory...but to have the red carpet rolled out must have made it extra special. I've got a couple of questions: - I noticed in some of the...
Thanks Wade
Very good observation. Yes to enter any portion of the factory where the watches are being built, assembled, cased, tested, etc we had to wear a "clean suit". Also we were required to wear covers for our shoes. Well it wasn't loud, but it wasn't silent in...
