Jules Audemars Small Seconds & Power Reserve White 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. At 9 mm thick it is about average for a modern wristwatch. 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.

25955BC.OO.D002CR.01 stands on its own in this catalogue — no other reference here shares its base number. It pairs a silver sunburst dial with a white gold case.

Hand-wound movement with small seconds, power reserve indicator, and date. Total of 181 parts including 24 jewels.
