What the heck we all need a breather !

This is one from my personal collection, I love it cause it looks so utilitarian with its steel tonneau case and bracelet yet it’s so luxurious made by Audemars Piguet in 1969.
Powered by the rare and precise caliber 2002 with center sweeping seconds and featuring a very charming hobnail silver and brilliant dial the best part for me though is the totally adjustable to any size on the spot- smooth supple bracelet made by Audemars Piguet you will never see another one.
The fact that the dial is blemished at first bothered me and I tried to fix it but I got over it and actually i so much appreciate the wabi Sabi and imperfect yet sexy appearance. After all who’s perfect I concluded to myself I like you, watch, even more for who you are now.
I bought this from a very tasteful collector in Tokyo, he also had the original coffin style AP 60s suede and vinyl box. It’s been one year since I bought it I’m so proud to be passing it on one day.

Read my blog post the MAGIC OF CARTIER ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️https://classicwatchny.com/the-magic-of-cartier/ ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️. LINK IN BIO! Vintage Cartier is just magic.
I have to share and explain that these Cartier of yesteryear may seem simple or even small to the untrained eye. Say a Tank may look like a little thing but fine spirits are treasured in small special crystal bottles. We are not talking about the usual watch here, it’s a really different experience wearing a Cartier especially if it comes with the custom sized strap and C deployment buckle. It’s not like wearing a watch it’s like wearing say a leather jacket (a $5000 one) it’s an accessory, something that blends into you. It’s a time teller and a part of your look. I wish there was some kind of German or Japanese term that would capture the enjoyment of aristocratic unassuming personal luxury self care, a feeling only someone living in certain privilege can take advantage of.

The 18k white gold JUMBO ribbed case measuring 34 mm width and 40mm length(!) is in fine sharp crisp conditions with full proportions and strong curves. The finely brushed finish case back and it's serial number along with hallmark engravings are crisp and sharp.

The mechanical manual wind Cartier movement is running strong and keeping time.
On it's original and scarce white gold deployment buckle with correct stamps etc and it's original black crocodile Cartier strap that will fit a 7.5 inch wrist.
