While most eyes are fixed on the steel brilliance of the Royal Oak, Audemars Piguet has long inscribed its elegance in the history of refined dress watches. This reference 14835BA Edward is a perfect embodiment of the brand’s heritage and craftsmanship.
Its design draws inspiration from the early 20th century, when Audemars Piguet created a bespoke platinum minute repeater for the American industrialist John Shaeffer. Here, the spirit is reborn in an 18k yellow-gold rectangular case. Measuring 29 x 38 mm, its clean, architectural lines exude a poised balance of vintage charm and timeless dignity.
The enamel white dial glows with an enamel-like warmth, enhanced by a recessed small-seconds subdial at 6 o’clock. Applied 18k gold Breguet numerals and elegant black Diamond Kite cathedral hands elevate the design into an ode to old-world refinement. Each glance at the dial feels like a conversation across centuries of watchmaking tradition.
Inside beats the Audemars Piguet Cal. 2085 manual-winding movement, finely executed and beautifully finished, underscoring the maison’s mastery in compact hand-wound calibers. This watch was originally purchased in Hong Kong in 1999 and remains in excellent condition, accompanied by its original box, certificate, and sales documents. Professionally serviced by our atelier, it runs flawlessly and comes with a one-year warranty.
