The Watch: Before the Royal Oak defined the brand’s visual identity, Audemars Piguet experimented widely with shape, proportion, and restraint. The Huitieme collection, launched in the mid-1980s, was one of those experiments, a line of rounded, classical watches that leaned into refinement rather than angular bravado.
This reference, 14593BA is a hefty 87g, 40.5mm three-hander in 18k yellow gold. The case features a stepped bezel and long lugs, with the AP name engraved at 12 o’clock on the bezel. The dial is a soft eggshell white, punctuated by applied indices, baton hands, and a date window at 3 o’clock, magnified by a discreet cyclops.
Condition: Very good, neo-vintage condition. Some case wear. Just serviced by AP, running exceptionally.
Includes:Watch, AP service box, AP service papers.
