Audemars Piguet Jules Audemars Starwheel 25720OR
The Jules Audemars Starwheel is somewhat ahead of its time when it was launched in the 1990s. The recent launch of the Code 11.59 Starwheel 30 years after the initial launch shows how enthusiasts have grown to appreciate the brilliantly designed Starwheel.
The use of different materials and an exposed wandering hours mechanism, sets the watch apart from many other dress watches that were available at the time. Available in different precious metals and dial configuration, this engraved dial version adds softness to the futuristic aesthetics.
