Catalogue Note
The Audemars Piguet ‘Survivor’ was inspired by military-related concepts, the design of this watch is not only ergonomic and sophisticated but also highly functional. It is a watch that can accompany the wearer when one’s confronted with an unknown and hostile environment. Upon its launch, there were speculations and anticipation that it would be the last in the line of radical designs from AP designer Octavio Garcia, thus enjoying tremendous popularity. This model was released with blackened titanium in 2008 in a limited series of 1000 pieces.
