A hinged stirrup bow lug at 12 o'clock rises above a sapphire cabochon set at the top of the bezel. Twelve round diamond hour markers and printed radial hashes ring a warm cream patina dial beneath a single black hour hand. Framing the face is a factory diamond-set 18K yellow gold bezel, paired with an 18K white and yellow gold bracelet weighing 72.3 grams.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIntroduced By Le Brassus In 1982\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eAudemars Piguet unveiled the Philosophique in 1982, reviving seventeenth-century single-hand watchmaking at the height of the quartz era. Pairing a manual-wind caliber with an asymmetrical hinged top bow and hidden 12 o'clock crown translated classical pocket-watch geometry into precious-metal wristwear. This one is on a factory two-tone gold bracelet with a diamond bezel and diamond hour markers.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Stirrup Lug And Cabochon\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eThis piece is in Very Good Vintage Condition overall, with crisp pocket-watch case details and rich natural gold toning. The round gold case, hinged 12 o'clock stirrup lug, and sapphire cabochon stay clean and well defined. Warm rosy gold patina shows on the factory diamond-set yellow gold bezel, matching the even cream patina of the diamond-marker dial and the crisp black hand. The crystal is clear. The two-tone 18K white and yellow gold link bracelet remains secure with light wear across the links. 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\u003eTwo-Tone Gold With Factory Diamonds\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eElongated at 12 o'clock by its hinged bow lug, the case sits longer than it is wide on the wrist.
