In a tribute to its dedication to both heritage and innovation, Audemars Piguet has revealed three exceptional timepieces designed specifically for the Middle East. These special-edition watches are the result of a unique collaboration with dedicated collectors from the United Arab Emirates, who contributed their creative vision alongside AP’s design teams in a groundbreaking “Create the Extraordinary” workshop held in Dubai in June 2022. This workshop, a first of its kind in fine watchmaking, allowed collectors to directly influence the designs of these sophisticated timepieces, merging their tastes with AP’s renowned craftsmanship.
Each of these special editions is engraved with “Special Edition” and “Create the Extraordinary” on the caseback, marking the rarity and significance of these creations. The collection combines Audemars Piguet’s longstanding commitment to artistry and precision engineering, showcasing innovative materials and techniques.
