The Watch: The Audemars Piguet Jules Audemars Dual Time Ref. 25685BA is a refined expression of AP’s classical watchmaking tradition. Housed in an 18k yellow gold case, this 36mm timepiece embodies the understated elegance of the 1990s, with a slim 8.5mm profile that wears effortlessly on the wrist.
The asymmetrical dial layout adds character, featuring a power reserve indicator, pointer date subdial, and a dual-time display at 6 o’clock—an innovation of its era. Interestingly, this was the first watch to adjust two time zones via a single crown, a practical and forward-thinking complication.
Inside, the watch is powered by the Audemars Piguet Caliber 2129, an ultra-thin automatic movement derived from Jaeger-LeCoultre, showcasing the historical synergy between the two maisons. A testament to AP’s ability to blend technical ingenuity with timeless aesthetics, this Jules Audemars Dual Time is a distinguished piece of neo-vintage watchmaking.
Condition: Excellent pre-owned condition. Some wear, recently serviced by AP.
