Historical significance

Audemars Piguet Charleston 67178BC.Z.1068BC.01 White Gold Diamond Bezel 14mm White Dial Ladies Watch sits within Audemars Piguet's Piguet Charleston line, introduced in 2017. It carries the house codes established since 1875 — white gold case, white lacquer dial dial and automatic manufacture calibre — and is one of the references collectors use to date the evolution of the collection.

Interesting facts

• The movement's bridges are decorated even where they will never be seen once the watch is cased.
• The bracelet tapers across its length, which is why the profile looks thinner on the wrist than the specification suggests.
• The case is finished by hand, alternating polished and satin-brushed surfaces in a single pass so the edges stay razor sharp.
