A rare and exceptionally elegant Audemars Piguet Audemarine Ref. 66559BA, crafted in solid 18k yellow gold and dating to the 1990s. With its distinctive tonneau-shaped case and sculptural rope chain design flowing seamlessly into the strap, this is one of Audemars Piguet's most unique and elusive creations.
The solid and substantial 24 × 23 mm 18k yellow gold case is beautifully preserved, featuring the original 18k yellow gold crown, a spotless sapphire crystal, and a flawless white dial. The watch is powered by the reliable Audemars Piguet quartz movement, fitted with a new battery and running excellent.
It retains its original black Audemars Piguet leather strap and is finished with the original solid 18k yellow gold Audemars Piguet pin buckle.
