Audemars Piguet 18K Gold 36mm Square Dress Watch - Valjoux VZS Movement
Item Details
This Audemars Piguet dress watch is a striking example of the brand’s refined craftsmanship, combining mid-century elegance with precision engineering.
Housed in a distinctive 18k yellow gold square case with stepped lugs, this timepiece features a silver dial adorned with gold hour markers and Arabic numerals, giving it a balanced and sophisticated aesthetic. The gold stick hands provide excellent legibility, while a sub-seconds register at 6 o’clock adds a functional yet elegant detail.

The movement features Geneva stripes, 17 jewels, and fine finishing, reflecting Audemars Piguet’s commitment to exceptional craftsmanship. The VZS caliber was widely used in high-end Swiss watches from the 1930s to 1950s, including models from Patek Philippe and Vacheron Constantin, making it a historically significant movement.
A superb collector’s piece, this Audemars Piguet 18k Gold dress watch embodies the timeless style and technical excellence that define the brand’s enduring legacy.
