Description from the seller

AUDEMARS PIGUET LADY – 18-KARAT YELLOW GOLD & DIAMONDS – REF. 8823 BA – 1981
Audemars Piguet Official Archives Extract – Watch Serviced and Guaranteed

Exceptional Audemars Piguet jewelry wristwatch in 18-karat yellow gold (750/1000) and diamonds, emblematic of the feminine elegance of Swiss haute horlogerie in the 1980s.

An exceptional piece, conceived as a jewel, rare on the market, accompanied by its official Audemars Piguet archival extract and recently revised.

This ladies' watch stands out with its elliptical 18K yellow gold (750) case, delicately proportioned, enhanced by a bezel fully set with perfectly uniform diamonds.

The champagne dial, original, shows a silky, uniform patina, with no oxidation, with the Audemars Piguet logo and signature applied.

The integrated bracelet, a true jewelry signature, is made of three twisted gold cords, punctuated by six diamond-set spacers. Flexible, sculptural, it evokes the major feminine jewelry creations of the late 20th century.

At the heart of the watch: the Audemars Piguet 2080 caliber, a manually wound mechanical movement renowned for its finesse and reliability, perfectly suited for prestige jewelry watches.
