The Audemars Piguet Jules Audemars Extra-Thin bursts with simplicity, offering only hours and minutes function. Therefore, it uses a base version of the movement. The base caliber is only 2.45mm thin and 28.4 mm in diameter, just a little bigger than a dollar coin. Caliber 2120 movement is just about 0.1 mm thicker than the Piaget’s 1208P micro-rotor caliber that presently holds the title of the world’s thinnest automatic movement. The base 2120 caliber consists of 214 giftedly finished parts with circular-grained mainplate and bridges, decorated with the Cotes de Genève motif. Adding the functionality of a perpetual calendar to a 2.45mm thick movement, requires 141 additional components, and 1.55mm in depth.
US regulation quarter is 1.75mm thick, and Audemars Piguet Jules Audemars Extra-Thin watch utilizes a self-winding movement that is only 2.45mm thick. Literally, this is less than two quarters stacked on top of each other. The complete watch is just 6.7mm thick, amazingly elegant and comfortable to wear. It is rather wide, with about 41 mm in diameter. This stunning timepiece is priced at just under $20,000. The case-back is open to reveal beating of the perfect movement. Take a look at how amazing it is.
