IMPORTANT: THE BRACELET IS PRISTINE AND IS A TYPE "0789" (14mm). THE BRACELET IS THE SAME AS THAT FOUND ON MODELS 14790 AND 15097 (Nick Faldo). JUST IN CASE ANYONE WANTS THIS WATCH FOR THE BRACELET ALONE.And for all you low-ballers out there, this watch is very reasonably, I might even say "bargain" priced. The current equivalent in AP's 2016 lineup is reference 67650OR.OO.1261OR.01 and will cost you $35,000+.Pristine, virtually new-old-stock. An absolutely gorgeous, museum-quality piece that I'm simply afraid to wear because I don't want to ding it, and that's no fun. Appears to have worn only a few times. I myself only wore it once. There is only the faintest trace of a wear mark on the inside of the bracelet, where the clasp rubs against it, and even then I think that may have happened when I wore it (I since protect that spot on the bracelet with tape). Bracelet is factory tight. Finish appears to be the original factory finish with no defects, never having needed to be re-polished because the watch really wasn't worn. Even the bracelet at the AP logo on the clasp has no scratches or defects, which would be visible if the watch had been worn while sitting at a desk. Estimated year of manufacture: 1996, before the rose gold craze hit, so AP made very few of these. I've not seen case-back numbers higher than 60. Feel free to let me know if you have heard of higher case-back numbers. According to my 1995 AP price-list, the yellow gold 56175.BA retailed for US$23,000. Inside circumference is 160mm including all three removable links (each one 1/4-inch). Fits comfortably on my 6.25-inch wrist. Remove the three links to size this down to about 5.5 inches. Extra-extra thin: only 5.7mm. AP has nothing like this in their program today. You can waltz-in and buy a new AP 67650 anytime if you have the money but you won't find a 56175OR. Certainly not in this condition. Total weight 126 grams. Case & bracelet 18k (750) rose gold. Clasp is 18k (750) white gold, fully hallmarked. Screw-down crown. Quartz movement isn't "haute horology," I know, but you can't get a 5.7mm thickness any other way. Watch works and reliably keeps time as quartz does. Hands & dial are obviously 20 years old so the luminescence fades pretty quickly upon exposure to UV light. Champagne (pale yellow) dial. You will see steel, yellow-gold, two-tone and tantalum 56175’s on the market all the time but rose gold is EXTREMELY RARE. I searched a year for this 56175OR. No box or papers. I will accept PayPal for the complete amount in one PayPal transaction if PayPal allows it. However if PayPal does not, then cash or bank wire only in advance, for the full amount (it’s not allowed to split the payment for a single item into multiple PayPal transactions). I expect payment within the standard time limit, no extensions or exceptions. This watch is absolutely perfect and I stake my reputation on that, therefore no returns. It's too much trouble and I can't risk sending a pristine watch out and get a scratched watch back. For more information on this watch (including a pdf download describing the movement), see:
