Jules Audemars Chronograph

Audemars Piguet Jules Audemars Chronograph – Ref. 25859ST | Black Dial

The Audemars Piguet Jules Audemars Chronograph ref. 25859ST is an elegant neo-vintage chronograph combining the manufacture’s classical round-case design with a distinctly sporty and highly legible dial. Crafted from stainless steel, this example features a striking black dial, two-register chronograph layout and automatic movement.

Case

The round case is crafted from stainless steel and measures approximately 39 mm in diameter.

Its polished stepped bezel, traditional lugs and discreet rectangular chronograph pushers create an elegant profile, making the watch considerably more understated than Audemars Piguet’s better-known Royal Oak chronographs.

A sapphire crystal protects the dial.

Dial

The glossy black dial features a distinctive combination of Arabic numerals and faceted hour markers, complemented by polished hands and a detailed white peripheral chronograph scale.

The balanced two-register layout consists of a 30-minute chronograph counter at 9 o’clock and running seconds at 3 o’clock.

An applied AP emblem at 12 o’clock, Audemars Piguet signature and “Automatic” inscription at 6 complete the design.

Movement

Powered by the automatic Audemars Piguet calibre 2226/2841, a modular chronograph movement used by the manufacture during this period.

The movement features 54 jewels and provides hours, minutes, running seconds, central chronograph seconds and a 30-minute chronograph counter.

Strap

Fitted with a black leather strap with AP shaped folding clasp.

Condition

Very nice overall condition with light signs of wear consistent with age. The movement runs accurately. No service history available.
