Reviving a Rarity: Audemars Piguet [Re]Master 01 Chronograph

Audemars Piguet now looks back at a mid-20th century model to create the [Re]master01 self-winding chronograph The new chronograph has a limited run - only 500 pieces will be made - and it does an impressive job of evoking the spirit of the original with its two-tone steel and rose-gold case complemented by a champagne dial Its slim bezel, olive-shaped chronograph pushers and chamfered crown are in 18k pink gold.

Steeled blue chronograph hands and a blue transferred tachymetric scale add a pop of color to the dial The chronograph has a tricompax layout, with a 12-hour counter at 3 o' clock and a running seconds subdial at 6 o'clock The watch is powered by a new automatic movement, Caliber 4409, whose integrated chronograph is driven by a column wheel and equipped with a flyback function.

This chronograph movement, visible behind a sapphire crystal caseback, is from the same family of chronograph calibers that was used in the Code 11:59 collection last year. . Source
