Craftsmanship & Movement

At the heart of this watch lies a Swiss mechanical movement designed with reliability, accuracy and longevity in mind. Each component, from the balance wheel and escapement to the mainspring and winding system, works together to provide stable performance in a range of wearing conditions. For enthusiasts, the movement is not only a technical engine but also a symbol of the meticulous craft traditions that have shaped Audemars Piguet watchmaking over many decades.

Condition & Preparation

Before any watch is offered for sale by Imperial Time UK Ltd, it undergoes a methodical inspection process. Our specialists review the case, dial, hands, crystal, bracelet or strap and clasp, as well as testing the winding, setting and, where applicable, date or additional functions. Where necessary, timekeeping and water-resistance tests are also carried out. This detailed approach helps ensure that the watch not only presents well aesthetically but also meets our expectations in terms of mechanical performance.

Provenance & Authenticity

Provenance and authenticity are central to collecting fine watches. Imperial Time UK Ltd applies a structured process to verify the originality and identity of each piece, cross-checking reference and serial numbers, dial layouts, case profiles and movement details against known manufacturer information and production periods. Where original documentation, boxes or accessories are present, these are reviewed and, where appropriate, matched to the watch. This diligence provides confidence for clients who wish to enjoy their watch over many years or consider its potential future resale.
