This watch was part of a duo launched at SIHH in 2009 (covered at the time on WPS - see archives). Its twin is in rose gold with a white lacquered dial.
The watch is based on a lovely old thing from the late 1920s. You could say this was a remaster before the [Re]Master. It lasted on the market for about a decade before AP shifted its energy to the aforementioned [Re]Master and, perhaps, the Code 11.59.
I have some more photographs to share but am so inept with organizing posts I'll leave it here for now.
Oh, and it's LOVELY.
