This is one of those unique pieces where there is only one like it in the entire world. The lapis lazuli dial is cut from natural stone, so its color, veining, and inclusions are unique to this piece and can never be replicated exactly. The bezel’s calibre-cut diamonds are also individually selected and precisely matched, meaning the overall pattern and presence are specific to this watch—no two will ever present identically.

Design & Construction
The 23 x 20mm cushion case showcases Audemars Piguet's refined proportions popular during the 1960s, combining 18K yellow gold case with contrasting 18K white gold diamond-set bezel for elegant two-tone effect. Ap Factory original Calibré-cut diamonds custom-shaped to fit the bezel's curved architecture create continuous sparkle framing the natural lapis lazuli dial, while alternating baguette and square-cut diamonds provide geometric interest. The vivid royal blue lapis lazuli dial features golden pyrite inclusions creating celestial sparkle effect, complemented by slender gold pencil hands that maintain the minimalist aesthetic. Integrated woven mesh bracelet in 18K yellow gold displays basket-weave pattern with substantial flexibility and comfort, secured by foldover clasp marked "AP" with Swiss hallmarks.
About Audemars Piguet Vintage Ladies Watches
Audemars Piguet established its reputation as one of Switzerland's premier independent watchmakers in 1875, maintaining family ownership and haute horlogerie traditions for nearly 150 years. During the 1960s, the manufacture created distinctive ladies watches combining precious materials like hardstone dials and custom-cut diamond bezels with refined mechanical movements, targeting sophisticated clientele seeking jewelry watches with genuine horological substance. This lapis lazuli dial example represents Audemars Piguet's commitment to decorative arts, selecting natural gemstone material for its intense color and unique pyrite inclusions that create natural sparkle mimicking starlight. The calibré-cut diamond bezel demonstrates advanced gem-cutting expertise, with each diamond individually shaped to follow the cushion case's curved perimeter—a labor-intensive technique reserved for highest-quality jewelry watches. At 46.20 grams in solid 18K gold with approximately 25-50 D-E-F color VS clarity diamonds, this watch delivers substantial intrinsic value alongside Audemars Piguet's prestigious name. The manual wind movement remains in running order though servicing is recommended for optimal performance and longevity.
Condition Notes: Excellent and striking overall condition. Bracelet has slight bend from wear, but still wraps the wrist perfectly. Bracelet closure displays visible sizing repair near clasp where gold was cut and rejoined. Minor scratches on case and bracelet consistent with wear. Mechanical movement winds, runs, and sets properly; servicing recommended for precise timekeeping (available upon request).
