1990s Audemars Piguet Edward Piguet White Gold 15121 29x45.5mm

This watch is sold “Watch Only” and, therefore, comes without its original Audemars Piguet box or paperwork. It comes paired with a well-suited 22mm leather strap and stainless steel pin buckle. The watch is from Circa. Mid/Late 1990s and is in lightly worn condition; as you can see from the photos, it is in excellent overall condition. The watch comes with our 12-Months NON-Waterproof Warranty.

Another wonderfully rare and amazing watch by Audemars Piguet that isn't a Royal Oak and can be had for a fraction of the cost of the cheapest example Royal Oak out there. This is the Edward Piguet in 18ct White Gold featuring the most psychedelic guilloche dial, a real work of art and incredibly difficult to capture. Someone said to me that this watch looks like the brainchild of a Cartier Tank Americaine and a Franck Muller from their heyday, and I think they may be on to something there. I would not hesitate to add this wonderful watch to your collection today!

Audemars Piguet was established in Le Brassus, a quaint village nestled within the Vallée de Joux. The company was founded in 1875 by two independent watchmakers, Jules Louis Audemars and Edward Auguste Piguet, who collaborated to create the brand. A hallmark of their innovation, they launched the first minute repeater wristwatch in 1892 and followed it with the release of the first Grand Complication pocket watch in 1899, which included features such as a minute repeater, alarm, perpetual calendar, deadbeat seconds, chronograph, and split-seconds hand. In 1925, they introduced the thinnest pocket watch calibre, and in 1934, they released the first skeletonised pocket watch. By 1946, they had created the world’s thinnest wristwatch, and in 1955, they unveiled the first wristwatch equipped with a perpetual calendar that included a leap-year indicator. A pivotal moment for the brand occurred in 1972 at the Swiss Watch Show Baselworld, where they collaborated with designer Gerald Genta to conceptualise a luxury sports watch. This partnership led to the birth of the Royal Oak, which became known as the world’s most expensive steel watch. In 1975, Jacqueline Dimier designed the first ladies' Royal Oak. Despite the challenges posed by the quartz crisis in the 1980s and 1990s, Audemars Piguet continued to innovate, introducing the world’s first automatic Tourbillon in 1986. In 1992, a collaboration with Renaud et Papi resulted in the creation of the Manufacture Les Saignoles, a dedicated research centre for horology located in Le Locle, Switzerland. The Royal Oak Offshore collection was launched in 1993 to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the Royal Oak. Stephen Urquhart, then CEO of Audemars Piguet, tasked Emmanuel Gueit, a young Swiss designer, with creating a watch tailored for youthful sports enthusiasts. The Royal Oak Offshore was unveiled at Baselworld in 1993, although Genta disapproved, feeling it strayed too far from his original design. The all-black Royal Oak Offshore gained additional visibility when it was featured in Arnold Schwarzenegger's 1999 film, "End of Days." In 2020, the Audemars Piguet museum was inaugurated in the Vallée de Joux, showcasing over 300 pieces celebrating the brand’s extensive history. The impressive Arc building, housing all of the production facilities under one roof, was completed in 2025. Today, Audemars Piguet remains a family-owned business, represented by the fourth generation, Olivier Audemars, who serves as the Vice-Chairman of the Board of Directors.
