Catalogue Note

With an Audemars Piguet extra strap and presentation box.

The Audemars Piguet ‘Survivor’, launched in a limited edition of 1000 blackened titanium examples in 2008, was apparently inspired by the military and features several design aspects found on weaponry. Perhaps the last in a line of radical designs from AP designer Octavio Garcia, such was the pre-release speculation and anticipation, upon its launch the Survivor had already received a dedicated following and was instantly sold out.
