Audemars Piguet VZSSC DA26 classic Calatrava design with conventionalThis is a super example of an Audemars Piguet dress watch featuring their legendary VZSSC movement, that is their VZ movement with the centre seconds. This ebauche or base movement was used by a number of high end firms, both for chronograph or calendar watches and also for high precision time only watches as is the case here. The base movement was made by the Valjoux and then finished to an extremely high standard by Audemars Piguet's watchmakers.
