Huitieme Tantalium Chronograph

An exceptionally rare Audemars Piguet Huitième, distinguished by its unusual tantalium and pink gold configuration and preserved in virtually NOS condition.

Dating to 1989 and sold by Concato on 20 October 1989, this remarkable example is offered as a complete original set, accompanied by its original Audemars Piguet presentation box, Certificate of Origin and Guarantee, warranty holder, instruction booklet and original accessories.

The watch retains its original Audemars Piguet strap and original deployant clasp. The exceptional condition of the original strap, together with the virtually untouched case and dial, provides compelling evidence of the very limited use this watch has seen throughout its life.

The combination of tantalium, pink gold accents and the distinctive Huitième chronograph design creates an unusual and particularly sophisticated configuration. Examples of this reference and configuration are exceptionally scarce, and this particular watch is one that virtually never appears on the market.

The dark grey dial, pink gold details and architectural case give the watch a striking presence, while the preservation of its original components and complete documentation makes it especially appealing to collectors who value originality and provenance.

A truly exceptional late-1980s Audemars Piguet Huitième — remarkable not only for its rarity, but for the extraordinary completeness and condition in which it has survived.
