-Description
Audemars Piguet was founded in Le Brassus in the Joux Valley by Jules-Louis Audemars and Edouard-Auguste Piguet.
Since its foundation in 1875, it is the oldest watch brand that has been consistently managed by the founding family.
Since its foundation, it has been manufacturing complicated watches such as perpetual calendars, chronographs, and sonnerie watches, and together with Vacheron Constantin and Patek Philippe, it is known as one of the world's three major brands, or the "Big Three.
This Ref. 14273 is a dress watch manufactured in the late 1980s.
It is sometimes called "extra flat/extra thin" due to the thickness of the case, which is only 5 mm.
The case material is 18k yellow gold and measures 31mm.
The numbers may seem small, but dress watches appear larger than the numbers because of the narrower edges and larger dial.
This is more noticeable when the dial is white, so a slightly smaller size is recommended.
The delicacy with which the surfaces, including the bezel, are polished and the sides of the case are hairline-finished is a feature unique to this class of watch.
The back of the case also has a circumferential hairline finish on the outer circumference and a vertical hairline finish on the case back.
The dial is a classic combination of a white dial and printed Roman numeral indexes.
It is a very beautiful white, and it is hard to believe that the watch is over 40 years old.
The hands are dauphine hands made of the same yellow gold material as the case.
They are cut in a mountain shape, which gives them a shaded appearance.
The movement is a manual wind Cal.2080.
It is based on Frederic Piguet Cal.810, which was used by Vacheron Constantin as Cal.1132.
The watch comes with a genuine 18K YG buckle and a service paper when the watch was serviced at Audemars Piguet service center in 2016.

About Complete Service
Complete service, sometime called overhaul is the work of disassembling a mechanical product down to its individual parts, cleaning and reassembling it to bring it closer to its new state of performance.
Roughly speaking, the overhaul procedure is as follows.
1. Separate into case and movement
2. Disassemble the movement
3. Inspection and pre-cleaning of wear condition of each part
4. Wash parts with a special machine
5. Lubrication and assembly
6. Waterproof test
7. Final adjustment and running test.
Some movements are made up of hundreds of parts, but it is a very meticulous process of disassembling them one by one, inspecting them all, cleaning them, and reassembling them.
If you don't overhaul, the oil will deteriorate just like a car, and the risk of wear and damage to parts increases, causing a decrease in accuracy and, in severe cases, not working.
There is also the reason that it will be very expensive to replace parts after they are found to be damaged, so we recommend overhauling once every 2-3 years for economical and long-term use.
About Polishing
Vintage watches have been used for decades, and even the stainless steel used in many watches has rounded corners that were originally sharp, and has many small scratches even though the mirror finish should be beautiful. state.
At Arbitro, some watches are sold with a new finish, based on the idea that you can purchase them in beautiful condition and use them for a long time.
In particular, gold-cased dress watches are finished to bring out the best of the precious metal case.
The watches sold by us that have been given a new finish are shot in very high definition, so you can see that the edges stand out and the light is reflected by the mirror finish.
Also, depending on the case or bracelet, there are cases where multiple finishes such as mirror finish and hairline finish are mixed, but there are not many craftsmen who can distinguish between them and finish them at a high level.
In addition, the “thinness of the case” is also a part that is greatly influenced by the skill of the craftsman.
A watch that has become thinner and has thinner lugs is far from its original design, and the appearance becomes unbalanced.
It is a very precise work that brings the case closer to the original finish by eliminating scratches and dents while reducing the thickness of the case to the utmost limit.
Of course, there are cases where it is better to use the watch as it is, in order to emphasize the history of the watch and its original condition.
We look at each watch and judge whether it is best to finish it before selling it.
