AUDEMARS PIGUET ULTRA THIN 18KT WHITE GOLD AUTOMATIC REF 5279 1960S Caliber A/P K2120 The World's thinnest Automatic caliber.
(this IS very rare) , the watch looks like it would be rough to the touch, but no it is very smooth, A very clever Fluid design. Outstanding Gold craftsmanship from the world's most renown of watchmakers. but the watch is so much more than just a show piece, Housing the World's slimmest Automatic Caliber (aside from the very odd and basically completely unworkable Lassale calibre 2000) with its 21 carat solid gold Rotor 36 Jewels and Special screwless balance a heart of this watch beating at 19,800 beats per hour. 
(remember we are using a macro lens so any and all imperfections are massively amplified above and beyond what you could see with the naked eye)
The Case Full 18ct Solid Gold Classic Ultra Slim dress watch 32.5mm in diameter excluding crown 33.6mm inclusive 36.5mm lug tip to lug tip. 
The DialSimply an iconic and classic Audemars Piguet Dial clean and crisp acclaimed for purity of design.
The 2120 has an interesting history; it was uactually made by Jaeger-LeCoultre as the cal. 920 and it was used by Audemars (as the 2120) by Patek (in the Nautilus, as the calibre 28-255) and by Vacheron Constantin as the calibre 1120. It was the first movement Audemars Piguet used in the Royal Oak, as well.Oddly enough, Jaeger never used it themselves. It was the world’s thinnest full rotor self-winding movement when it was introduced and it still is today. (bar aforementioned useless flawed and frankly discounted lessale 2000 that is frankly often and understandably so discounted from the horological history books)
