At its core, Audemars Piguet is a Swiss luxury watch manufacturer that has garnered worldwide recognition for its exceptional timepieces and innovative designs. Founded in 1875 by close friends Jules-Louis Audemars and Edward-Auguste Piguet, the company is nestled in the picturesque Swiss Jura mountains—a fitting backdrop for the creation of horological masterpieces.
The initial Audemars Piguet watches were meticulously crafted using age-old handcrafted techniques that had been passed down through generations of skilled artisans. To create something truly unique, the visionary founders took existing pocket watch movements and ingeniously modified them to fit wristwatches. This groundbreaking approach challenged the conventions of the time when pocket watches reigned supreme.
During the early years, Audemars Piguet focused on producing small series of highly detailed pieces with intricate complications such as repeaters (watches that chime) and chronographs (stopwatch functions). These early models of Audemars Piguet watches for sale online , revered for their rarity and exceptional craftsmanship, continue to be highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts alike.
