Jules Audemars Minute Repeater Tourbillon Chronograph White Gold / Yoshida

In Context

At 41 mm it is sized to the current mainstream: 40 mm is the median across every watch measured in this catalogue. 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.

The movement is hand-wound, so winding it becomes part of the day rather than something the watch does for you. At 21,600 vph the seconds hand advances 6 times a second, the slower and more audible rate of an older design.

26345OR.OO.D099CR.01 stands on its own in this catalogue — no other reference here shares its base number. It pairs a skeleton dial with a pink gold case. It was a limited edition. Beyond the time it carries a chronograph, a tourbillon and a minute repeater.
