Jules Audemars 26100 Chronograph White Gold / Creme Vintage

In Context

At 41 mm it is sized to the current mainstream: 40 mm is the median across every watch measured in this catalogue. At 12.7 mm it is a tall case, and it will catch on a cuff. 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 winds itself from the motion of your wrist. 50 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.

26100BC.OO.D002CR.01 stands on its own in this catalogue — no other reference here shares its base number. It pairs a beige dial with a white gold case. Beyond the time it carries a chronograph.

Self-winding 30-minute cam-operated chronograph with small (hacking) seconds. Oscillating weight with ceramic ball bearings Bevels of the bridges are diamond graved Inverted snailing on bridges
