Amanico's post shines a light on a rarely seen Audemars Piguet 1936 Chronograph Astrua, reminding us that the brand's rich heritage extends far beyond its most famous collections. This vintage piece, notable for its unique lugless design, offers a compelling glimpse into AP's pre-Royal Oak era. Amanico's contribution sparks a valuable discussion on historical design and its relevance to contemporary watchmaking.
AP also made disco volante, skeleton, and a tank style watch with this bezel style with the elongated roman numerals. The specific reference numbers escape me. I really like this style.
Too bad the modern ones don’t always display the same freshness 😊🤷🏻♂️
For me those were very important times from the design and technological standpoint. Please, please…. More! René
Hoping they surprise us with something special this year! Peter
This is a beautiful Audemars Piguet Chronograph, in beautiful condition. It does not look outdated, despite being 90 years old. The modern team should not despair when new designs are compared to the absolute best of the back catalog, as the best of an era will hold up favourably. With the modern Cal 4401 clocking in at 32 mm diameter, AP could use a lugless design to offer a dressier chronograph that wears smaller despite the large movement. Not necessarily a reproduction or remaster of an earl
