Great vintage watches from Audemars Piguet do not come up for sale often. They are rarer than vintage Vacherons or Pateks, especially in modern sizes and aesthetics. There are a few vintage AP’s that do well at auction – obviously the early Royal Oaks (we’ll get to chose later today) – but also the traditional chronographs like this that pulled down $ 386,000 and this triple-date moonphase chrono that made almost $ 90,000. Next month, there is a great chance to buy some really special watches from Audemars Piguet that date to the brand’s formative years, and are unlike the watches offered from them today.
Below, we take a look at five vintage AP’s coming up for sale in May from Antiquorum and Christie’s, and there is not a single hexagonal screw in sight.
Imagine a cushion shaped mono-pusher chronograph wristwatch from a storied brand like VacheronConstantin, that dates to 1930. A watch such as this is surely a valuable one and the type of thing an auction house like Sotheby’s, Christie’s, Antiquorum, or Bonhams would love to have. In fact, the Vacheron you see above, the reference 2990 mono-pusher from 1930 is in fact a watch that was sold by Christie’s in May of last year (2011) for over $ 56,000. In other instances, examples for the 2990 mono-pusher from VC has broken $ 100,000.
But, if you happen to be cruisin the ‘Bay (that’s “browsing watches on eBay” for those who don’t speak watchnerd), and enter “vintage Vacheron,” you will come across a watch that looks very much like this one. Actually, the seller claims it is this one – a VacheronConstantin reference 2990 mono-pusher chronographer in a solid gold cushion style case from 1930. And, it’s only at $ 2,175! What a bargain!
My favourite one I manage to take . Kimi smiling for a bit of a second. Don’t mind me going at “awwwwww” in the backround haha. They were giving away some prize to the winner. Video Rating: 4 / 5
The vintage minute repeater – who made them? Patek Philippe? Sure, but not many. Vacheron Constantin? Yup, but even less. In fact, Vacheron only made 36 watches in the early to mid 20th century that were minute repeaters, and all of them (as far as we know) bore the reference 4261. And, out of those 36 minute repeaters, only ten used a 13mm diameter movement, inside an oversized case. All 36 minute repeaters were in fact ultra-slim, with a movement of just 3.1mm thick and were typically made from yellow or pink gold, sometimes platinum.
And then we have the watch we saw yesterday at Christie’s, which will be coming up in their May Geneva sale. This is indeed a vintage Vacheron repeater, and indeed it uses a wide (13mm ligne diameter) but ultra-slim (3.1mm) movement in an oversized case (36mm, but it feels more like 38mm), but it is not a reference 4261 like all the others.
5513/5517 Military Sub. I try to wear without worry. This watch has been through war, it can handle a door frame.

There are many different types of “watch guys” out there, and today you’ll meet a particularly interesting one – one that knows the devil is in the details, and has an appreciation for the entire market, from top to bottom. So without further ado, here are a few words from a guy named John, who happens to play a mean guitar.
