Audemars Piguet Huitième 33mm - Ref. 77113BA

For sale is an Audemars Piguet Huitième Ref. 77113BA in 18k yellow gold, featuring a white dial with applied gold baton hour markers and an automatic movement. Paired with a dark brown Audemars Piguet leather strap and matching 18k yellow gold AP buckle, this example combines classic dress-watch proportions with some distinctive design details.

The Huitième
The Huitième represents a lesser-known side of Audemars Piguet’s collection. Its rounded case and broad, engraved bezel give it a recognisable identity, while the unusual placement of the dial signature adds character to an otherwise simple design. It is an appealing choice for someone who appreciates traditional watchmaking with a slightly different look.

The Case
Crafted in 18k yellow gold, the case measures approximately 33mm across. Its compact proportions and gently curved lugs give it an elegant presence on the wrist. The broad, stepped bezel is engraved with “AUDEMARS PIGUET” across its upper edge, one of the watch’s defining features.

The Dial
The white dial has a soft, lightly grained appearance, complemented by applied gold baton hour markers and slender matching hands. A finely printed black minute track runs around the outer edge, with Arabic numerals marking five-minute intervals.

The date window sits at 3 o’clock, beside the applied AP emblem, with “Audemars Piguet Automatic” printed beneath. This off-centre arrangement leaves the upper half of the dial open and gives the watch its distinctive, understated character.

The Strap & Buckle
The watch is fitted with a dark brown Audemars Piguet leather strap with a crocodile-scale texture and the brand’s signature stamped on the underside. It is secured by an 18k yellow gold AP pin buckle, bearing the AP emblem on the outside and a 750 gold hallmark underneath. The deep brown strap complements the warm yellow gold case particularly well.

The Movement
Powered by an automatic mechanical movement, the watch winds through the natural movement of the wrist. It displays hours, minutes and central seconds, alongside the date at 3 o’clock, offering practical everyday functions within a traditionally proportioned gold dress watch.
