This piece is a product of that philosophy. The champagne glitter dial creates a continuous, textured surface of gold that flows from the case through the integrated bracelet. The entire construction commits to the watch as a single, cohesive ornament. From the 31x35mm case to the bracelet clasp, every surface is solid 18K yellow gold, representing a time when material and form were the primary expressions of luxury.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA Glitter Dial And An Automatic Caliber\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eThis Ellipse is defined by its specific and uncommon configuration. The champagne dial is finished with a fine, sparkling texture that gives the watch its distinct character. Powering the watch is an automatic movement, a feature that adds a layer of convenience not always found in slim dress watches from this period. The entire piece, from the 31x35mm case to the integrated bracelet, is crafted from solid 18K yellow gold, giving it a substantial total weight of 90 grams.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSlight Oxidation On An Original Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eThis example lands in Very Good Vintage Condition, defined by its well-preserved case and bracelet. The integrated bracelet shows some slight oxidation, a natural occurrence for gold of this age that has retained its original factory finish. Beyond this, the watch presents cleanly, with a perfect dial and crystal free of any marks. As with every watch we offer, this piece has been verified as mechanically sound and is ready to wear.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePre-Sport Era Audemars Piguet\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eThe level of hand-finishing and the sheer amount of gold required to create a fully integrated piece like this make modern equivalents prohibitively expensive. Audemars Piguet built its reputation on dress watches like this before the Royal Oak shifted the brand's identity in 1972. This Ellipse represents that earlier era, when the manufacture's output was measured in craft and material rather than sport-watch iconography. The design is so specific to the 1970s that it reads as a period piece rather than a dated one, and the 90-gram weight of solid gold gives it tangible value that holds regardless of trends.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKEY SPECS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eModel: Ellipse\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eEra: 1970s\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eMovement: Automatic\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eCase Size: 31mm (Excluding Crown)\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eBezel: 18K Yellow Gold\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eBracelet: Integrated 18K Yellow Gold\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eBracelet Length: Fits up to a 7.25-inch wrist\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eDial: Champagne Glitter\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eMetal: 18K Yellow Gold\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eWeight: 90g\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eSKU: 727\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFit And Customization\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eThis watch should feel like it was made for your wrist from the moment you put it on.
