WHY WE LOVE IT

We bet you’ve never seen one of these before.

And you wouldn’t be alone! What you’re looking at is an extremely rare, tantalum-and-gold chronograph from none other than Audemars Piguet, one of Swiss watchmaking’s “Holy Trinity.” The “Huitieme” Chronograph, as it’s called, was part of a prestigious collection of complicated watches that existed in the 1970s and 1980s. Distinctly “of its time” when viewed today, it’s a watch that nevertheless represented the pinnacle of cutting-edge industrial design upon its introduction.

This particular Huitieme Chronograph features a 40mm tantalum case, a mineral crystal with built-in inverted date magnifier, an unsigned crown, a signed, stepped bezel, a grey tantalum dial with triple-register chronograph layout, an outer tachymeter dial, a date window, gold stick hands, and a Analog/Shift Denham strap with stainless steel pin buckle. It’s powered by the Audemars Piguet Calibre 2121, which is itself based upon an ébauche from Jaeger-LeCoultre with a Dubois Dépraz chronograph module sitting on top. (At the time of the watch’s production, AP owned 40% of struggling JLC.)

If you’re a fan of complicated watchmaking but are tired of the same ol,’ same ol,’ this funky chrono from AP should be in your cart!

OVERALL CONDITION

The case is in excellent condition overall showing only light signs of wear consistent with age and use. Matte grey tantalum dial with applied yellow gold indices is in equally excellent condition with matching handset. Unsigned crown.
