5 Things To Know About The Audemars Piguet [Re]master01 Selfwinding Chronograph

Vintage Audemars Piguet chronograph watches are highly sought-after treasures among serious collectors In place of the modern-day Audemars Piguet logo, this limited‑edition watch bears an emblem from the watchmaker's past The entire team at Audemars Piguet unanimously decided on the model 1533 because of the specific aesthetic and emotional connections they all felt for "This echo of the past".

The [Re]master01 draws aesthetic inspiration from the archival chronograph by replicating its round, two-tone case with the bezel, olive-shaped pushers and chamfered crown in pink gold, while the lugs are in stainless steel What's different is its modern-day glare-proof sapphire crystal caseback that reveals the chronograph mechanism in its full glory Model 1533 had a 36mm-wide case that was considerably larger compared to other chronographs made in its era-most measured between 31 and 34mm.

The [Re]master01 measures 40mm in diameter, which allows for better legibility; the chronograph counters have also been rearranged for enhanced readability At the heart of this vintage-inspired model is the in‑house calibre 4409, a new‑generation automatic chronograph mechanism with a flyback function. .
