Audemars Piguet Jules Audemars Dual Time Power Reserve 18kt Rose Gold Ref. 26380OR.OO.D088CR.01

The Audemars Piguet Jules Audemars Dual Time reference 26380OR.OO.D088CR.01 exemplifies the refined elegance and technical sophistication for which the Le Brassus manufacture is renowned. This distinguished timepiece belongs to the classical Jules Audemars collection, named after one of the brand’s founders. Combining understated styling with practical travel complications, the watch offers a contemporary interpretation of traditional haute horlogerie.

Crafted from luxurious 18 karat rose gold, the case measures 41mm in diameter and features slim polished lugs, a slender bezel, and a beautifully balanced profile that wears elegantly on the wrist. A sapphire crystal protects the dial, while a sapphire exhibition caseback allows a view of the finely finished movement within. Water resistance is rated to 20 meters (2 ATM), emphasizing its role as a sophisticated dress watch rather than a sports model.

The watch features a striking silver toned dial accented by rose gold hands and applied baton hour markers. Its layout is both elegant and highly functional. At 6 o’clock is the subsidiary second time zone display with day/night indication, while the large register at 3 o’clock provides a pointer style date display. Positioned between 10 and 11 o’clock is the power reserve indicator, allowing the wearer to monitor the remaining autonomy of the movement. The clean architecture and restrained use of complications preserve the timeless aesthetic that defines the Jules Audemars collection.

Powering the watch is the self-winding Audemars Piguet Caliber 2329/2846, an in house movement derived from the ultra thin caliber family that has become one of the manufacture’s hallmarks. The movement consists of 33 jewels, operates at 28,800 vibrations per hour (4 Hz), and delivers a power reserve of approximately 38 hours. The caliber incorporates hours, minutes, central seconds, dual time indication, pointer date, day/night indicator, and a power reserve display. Decorated to Audemars Piguet’s exacting standards, the movement showcases Geneva stripes, beveled bridges, and an engraved oscillating rotor visible through the transparent caseback.

The reference 26380OR.OO.D088CR.01 represents one of the most elegant complicated dress watches from Audemars Piguet outside of the Royal Oak family. Its combination of precious metal construction, travel functionality, and classical design makes it an increasingly desirable piece among collectors seeking traditional haute horlogerie with everyday practicality.
