Jules Audemars Extra-Thin White Gold / Grey

In Context

At 39 mm it sits just under the modern norm — the band that suits the widest spread of wrists. The 6.2 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. Its 34-hour reserve wants wearing most days; leave it off and it stops. At 21,600 vph the seconds hand advances 6 times a second, the slower and more audible rate of an older design.

15093BC.OO.A002CR.01 stands on its own in this catalogue — no other reference here shares its base number. It pairs a grey sunburst dial with a white gold case.

Hand-wound movement displaying the hours and minutes. Total of 138 parts including 19 jewels.
