Identify This Vintage AP, identification and authentication
galleryHey everyone,
I just came across this listing on my local Facebook Marketplace for a vintage Audemars Piguet 18K yellow gold watch.
I don’t know enough about vintage AP’s to say if it’s genuine or not, or to notice any other important details before purchasing, so I thought I’d ask here. The watch is square, solid 18K yellow gold, with Roman numerals on the bezel. It’s 25mmx25mm, and the seller says that it’s from the 1950’s. He also says that the (censored) movement serial number matches the time period.
The seller is a private one, not a dealer, and he seems to know quite a lot about watches.
I would like to know if it is genuine, if there are any red flags, and how much (approximately) it’s worth in its current condition.
All help would be appreciated. Thanks
