Details
The Dark Ferrite Stone Slab
Natural dark grey ferrite stone forms the dial of this 1980s Audemars Piguet Ellipse, signed at the top and free of hour markers. Sliced thin from raw mineral, the ferrite slab shows a cool metallic grain that shifts between charcoal and pewter. Factory-set round brilliant diamonds ring the 18K white gold bezel, leaving slender dauphine hands as the only elements crossing the stone face. Powered by a thin manual-wind caliber, the elliptical head flows straight into an integrated solid 18K white gold mesh bracelet.
In Eighties Le Brassus Production
Through the 1980s, Audemars Piguet paired ultra-slim manual-wind dress calibers with hard-stone dials and bench-woven gold bracelets. Working brittle ferrite down to sub-millimeter dial thickness carried high breakage rates before watchmakers ever fitted the hands or cased the slim movement. Combining that mineral slab with matched factory bezel diamonds and hand-soldered 18K white gold mesh kept production tight within Le Brassus dress watchmaking.
Clean Flanks And Secure Diamonds
This piece is in Excellent Vintage Condition overall, with sharp elliptical case lines and supple goldwork. The 18K white gold case retains clean flanks, a neat crown, and crisp caseback edges. The factory brilliant-cut diamonds sit secure in the bezel around the ferrite stone dial, with bright dauphine hands and a clear crystal. The integrated 18K white gold mesh bracelet drapes evenly with no kinks or slack at the signed clasp. As with every watch we offer, this piece has been verified as mechanically sound and is ready to wear.
A Supple White Gold Weave
Finely woven 18K white gold mesh spreads nearly sixty-five grams smoothly around the wrist without stiffness. The slim manual-wind head sits low on the wrist, and the grey ferrite face, white gold bezel, and white gold mesh stay in one cool palette.
