Jules Audemars Extra-thin Bolshoi

The old scene of the Bolshoi Theatre in Moscow was opened again on Sunday, November 20th, after six-year renovation work, to greet the 236th season in its history. One of the Audemars Piguet’s ambassadresses, Prima Ballerina Svetlana Zakharova, was on the stage that night performing the role of the Sleeping Beauty. To celebrate this wonderful occasion, Audemars Piguet created a special Jules Audemars Extra-Thin Watch graced with an open-worked oscillator engraved with a silhouette of the famous theatre.

The special series of Jules Audemars Bolshoi watches is issued in pink and white gold. This is a limited edition comprising of 99 pieces in total – 50 in pink gold and 49 in white gold. Both models are fitted with an elegant anthracite dial with white gold or pink gold applied hour-markers. The watches are powered by the Calibre 2120, which beats at 19'800 vibrations per hour and provides about 40 hours of power reserve.

The most beautiful detail is hidden on the case-back where transparent sapphire crystal reveals the secret movements of the inner mechanism and an open-worked oscillator made of pure gold. The oscillator is stamped with the image of Bolshoi theater in a lush hand-made floral engraving.
