This is my first For Sale post in this forum, so I hope to be lucky with the sale.

As I am thinking on reorganizing (and reducing) my collection, I post for sale my Audemars Piguet Ultra Thin, circa 1990.

This watch is featuring caliber 2003, which, as many of you know, was developed by JLC and widely used by VC and AP. This movement has been one of the most used extra thin calibers. Its condition is quite good, as per the photos attached. Furthermore, the overall condition of this watch could be described as an "excellent vintage condition" with some aging and patina in the dial. The caseback is spotting another small scratch, probably due to a non very careful opening. I would asses it with a quite conservative 85% in TZ grading scale. Please check photos.

The watch is running strong and keeps good time, but I cannot measure any deviation as no seconds hand is present. It also features a solid 18kt yelow gold case, measuring 31 mm diameter and something like 2 or 3 mm thick. It wears quite well in my 18,5 cm wrist. I have worn it with both suits in labor days and jeans during weekends, which adds a cool vintage touch to your outfit.

I am including original leather box and cardboard outer box, both of them properly signed Audemars Piguet as it was done in the 90's. I am also offering this watch with a brand new Rios brown leather strap.

I am asking 2.250 EUR or equivalent in USD or best reasonable offer. As this is my first sale and as a proof of willingness and good faith I am including in the price Paypal payment fees and shipping internationally with a top courier fully insured to your door. Nevertheless, due to customs issues, I shall give preference to EU deals.

Regarding returns: I think watch is quite faithfully described above and I can answer all the doubts you may have and provide all the photos you may need, so as international returns may be difficult and expensive due to shipping costs, insurances and customs, I am not accepting them.

Many thanks for your time and to Omegaforums for the oportunity to sell this here.

It is a great watch.

It sure is.

It wears bigger than 31 mm. as it has a very very thin bezel.

It sure does. That dial is about the size a 33 mm watch would have with any kind of bezel width.

I love my caliber 2003 from the late 60's. If somebody here wants a classy dress watch that's so comfortable you might forget you're wearing it, they should jump on this. The rights and tooling for the caliber 2003 are now completely owned by AP in their deal to sell their 40%-ish of JLC to Richemont. It is the thinnest manual wind made.

Up with price reduction: 2.250 EUR shipped and paypaled (if you make numbers this is less than 2K for an AP...).
