Audemars Piguet

Continuing with our coverage of my recent trip to the Audemars Piguet facilities in Switzerland, let's head into the AP Heritage Museum and Restoration Workshop. Our group was hosted by Sebastian Vivas, Museum Director, and Michael Friedman, AP Historian ...  

I was there myself earlier in the year & same as you Michael I was blown away with the work of Sebastian in the restoration department . It really does make you realise what you are buying into when you purchase AP. Loved the old register books of all... 

As you know, it is hard to put into words what you feel walking through these historical AP spaces.

Great report Michael. I find this kind of information and photos fascinating. Hope you have another installment coming :-) M4

Should get that up late this week. Thanks for reading the articles on the various visits!

Thanks Michael! The Perpetual Calendar is one of my favorite watches hope some day I can own one... Specially the the rose gold with brown leather strap!! Best, Ernesto

I must admit, this visit really opened my eyes to vintage AP watches. The last few years have found me dreaming on a complicated AP too. Hopefully I can have one of each in the long term...

Brings back some great memories from my tour a few years ago. So much history in one place, amazing. Best, JerryW

And that is why it is so special to visit those rooms in person. You feel the history all around you.

that extra special thread appears on PPro and this is sure one of those. Outstanding report Thank you so much Sincerely Damjan

Sincerest thanks to you. I try to share some thoughts behind the photos and hope to convey those as best as possible. It is a real pleasure to share the experiences with everyone here on our forum.

Hope all is well your way.

That you recognized the work from the photo before you read the line! Thanks for checking out the article doubleup.
