Audemars Piguet is widely recognised as the master of minute repeating watches. They also created the first jump-hour wristwatch in 1921, which has traditionally been housed in a rectangular case.

The aesthetic created by the refined dial, nicely balanced between the aperture displaying the hours at 12 o'clock and the subsidiary dial for constant seconds at 6 o'clock, combined with an angular faceted case, suited the Art Deco period perfectly. It created a masculine, yet elegant look that is today still considered as a pinnacle of the style of that era.

In 1992, Audemars launched the reference 25723. The model paid tribute to both these complications and the tasteful creations of the Art Deco period.

Using a completely redeveloped cal. 2865, the 25723 continued the Audemars Piguet's tradition of innovation by being the world's first wristwatch featuring a minute repeater and digital jump-hour display.

The present lot is an attractive example of this emblematic model and is accompanied by its original and impressive presentation case as well as by its documents.
