Details
A Complication With Classic Intent
Before the Royal Oak became the brand's icon, Audemars Piguet was a master of complicated dress watches. The Jules Audemars line is a direct link to that heritage. This reference 25685BA is a perfect example, combining the very useful dual time and date complications within a classically styled, precious metal case. It represents a different side of AP, one rooted in the quiet confidence of traditional horology and elegant case design.
The Stepped Case And Dual Time Display
The defining feature of this watch is its execution. The case is crafted from solid 18K yellow gold, with an elegant stepped bezel that adds depth and definition. The white dial is perfectly balanced, integrating the second time zone and date function without feeling crowded. The blued steel hands are a subtle but critical detail, providing sharp contrast and a touch of color. It is a thoughtful design that showcases Audemars Piguet's ability to produce refined, functional timepieces for the sophisticated traveler.
A Well-Kept Example
The watch is in good overall condition. The 18K yellow gold case has been well-preserved, retaining the sharp lines of its stepped profile. The white dial is in great shape, as is the sapphire crystal. The blued hour and minute hands are perfect. It comes fitted on a leather strap with its original Audemars Piguet gold buckle. As with every watch we offer, this piece has been verified as mechanically sound and is ready to wear.
Beyond The Hype
This watch is for the collector who appreciates Audemars Piguet for its century of watchmaking history, not just a single design. It offers a genuinely useful complication in a package that is both luxurious and understated. Its proportions are timeless and wear comfortably in any setting. This is an intelligent choice for someone who values high-level watchmaking and precious metal from a top-tier manufacturer, without following the crowd.

What Our Clients Say About Us

I knew I was gonna like Danny, based on his name, but nothing could’ve prepared me for how great of an experience this was. He had the most beautiful 70s Seamaster Cosmic on his website and I was set to be married 2 days later - I arranged to buy it but before leaving we both realized it needed to be serviced. I panicked, because I was literally buying this for my wedding, and Danny being the legend he is, loaned me a nearly identical Seamaster to make sure I could get through the event Never have I had someone go so above and beyond for me, especially while purchasing one of the lesser priced items in their inventory. He serviced my watch and exchanged it with me after the wedding on a super fast turnaround timeline. I would sincerely recommend you visit this guy, you will not be disappointed Edit: adding a pic of the loaner (two tone) and the owner (crosshair)

Great service and shop. Danny and his team were incredibly accommodating, professional, and kind. Great selection of vintage watches. Their store is the hidden gem in the diamond district.

This was my first real luxury watch purchase, a Rolex 15200 Date 34mm, I own Tissots and a Laco, but those are entry level luxury watches. I found Danny’s Vintage Watches online, and had great feedback both on Google, Chrono24 and the Reddit watch community. So decided to give him a shot as buying online can be a crap shoot. Ordered Monday night, was at my doorstep Friday morning. Despite the watch being over 30 years old, serial number says it’s from 91, the watch looked new. Didn’t come with box or papers, and was shipped in a plastic sleeve wrapped in bubble wrap. Danny was always available to answer questions. I’ll be buying from Danny again for the next purchase…saw a couple of Speedmasters on his site I liked….
