Jules Audemars Small Seconds Pink Gold / Silver

In Context

At 36 mm it is classically proportioned: the size a dress watch was understood to be for most of the twentieth century, and small enough to sit under a cuff. The 7.7 mm case is genuinely slim and goes under a shirt cuff without argument. The case back is open, so the movement is visible without taking the watch apart, and the sapphire crystal will resist everything short of deliberate abuse. Rated to 20 m, it is protected against rain and splashes and nothing beyond that.

The movement is hand-wound, so winding it becomes part of the day rather than something the watch does for you. 48 hours of reserve is enough to set it down on Friday evening and find it still running on Monday. At 21,600 vph the seconds hand advances 6 times a second, the slower and more audible rate of an older design.

15056OR.OO.A067CR.02 stands on its own in this catalogue — no other reference here shares its base number. It pairs a silver sunburst dial with a pink gold case.

The 3090 is Audemars Piguet's hand-wound movement with a small seconds, the caliber of the Jules Audemars Small Seconds. It powers 22 watches in this library, every one a Jules Audemars. It is 31.4 mm across with 148 parts and 21 jewels, beating at 21,600 vph for a 48-hour reserve, with the seconds on a subdial set off-centre. It was the plain hand-wound movement of the maison's classical round collection, made in sizes for men and women alike, and it is finished for the display back every Jules Audemars carries. In the library it powers 22 [Jules Audemars](/brands/audemars-piguet/jules-audemars) Small Seconds references, in white and pink gold, at 36 mm, 33 mm, 28 mm and 27 mm. The [2120](/calibers/audemars-piguet-ap-2120) is the ultra-thin automatic of the same collection, and the [4302](/calibers/audemars-piguet-ap-4302) the movement of the CODE 11.59 that replaced the Jules Audemars in 2019.

21 other watches in the library run the Audemars Piguet AP 3090.
