AUDEMARS PIGUET B88412 Ultra Slim – 1980s

The Audemars Piguet Ultra Slim is a beautiful example of the understated elegance that defined Audemars Piguet dress watches throughout the late 20th century. While the brand is best known today for the Royal Oak, vintage AP dress watches remain some of the most refined and wearable pieces in the brand’s history – combining exceptional craftsmanship with timeless proportions. Crafted in solid 18k yellow gold, this Ultra Slim reference offers a perfectly balanced 31mm case size that wears elegantly on medium to smaller wrists. The watch embodies the minimalist sophistication for which Audemars Piguet became renowned, featuring a slim profile and clean design that make it an ideal everyday dress watch. This example has remained in fantastic vintage condition, highlighted by its beautifully preserved golden dial and strong case. Powered by a reliable quartz movement, the watch offers effortless practicality while maintaining the refined aesthetic of classic haute horlogerie. Completing the watch is its original 18k Audemars Piguet pin buckle, a rare and highly desirable detail that adds further authenticity and collectability. Elegant, discreet, and increasingly appreciated by collectors, this Audemars Piguet Ultra Slim is a perfect example of why vintage AP dress watches remain one of the hidden gems of the market.
