Audemars Piguet 18k Ultra Thin Calatrava 1970s

Audemars Piguet Ultra-Thin Calatrava — White Gold Elegance (1970s)

A refined Audemars Piguet dress watch from the late 1970s, showcasing the brand’s mastery of ultra-thin watchmaking. Crafted in 18k white gold, the sharp 31 mm case is paired with an equally elegant integrated white gold bracelet, creating a seamless and highly sophisticated presence on the wrist.

The clean silver dial is beautifully restrained, featuring alpha hands and stick hour markers with onyx inlays, adding subtle depth and contrast. Inside ticks the hand-wound Audemars Piguet Cal. 2080, celebrated for its slim profile and reliability.

A special collector’s detail: the watch still retains its original AP price hangtag, documenting its sale in Japan in the late 1970s — a rare and evocative touch of provenance.
