Tradition Refined: The Audemars Piguet Jules Audemars Collection

Named after one of Audemars Piguet's co-founders, the Jules Audemars collection is rooted in classic Swiss watchmaking. With its round cases, understated dials, and high complications, the line represents the brand's most traditionally styled offering. Unlike the angular Royal Oak or the architectural Code 11.59, Jules Audemars pieces focus on discretion, purity, and mechanical excellence. The collection serves as a canvas for some of AP's most ambitious horological achievements — from perpetual calendars and tourbillons to minute repeaters and astronomical complications.

A Legacy in Round Cases: Overview of the Jules Audemars Collection

The Jules Audemars collection exemplifies Audemars Piguet's commitment to traditional high horology. Named for Jules-Louis Audemars, one of the brand's 19th-century founders, this collection highlights classical round cases, precious materials, and a focus on refined finishing. While AP is often associated with the octagonal Royal Oak, the Jules Audemars line reveals a quieter side of the brand — one deeply rooted in Vallée de Joux traditions.

From ultra-thin calibers to minute repeaters, tourbillons, and astronomical complications, the Jules Audemars collection has long served as the vessel for AP's most impressive feats of watchmaking. For a broader view of the brand's offerings, including contemporary models, explore our pre-owned Audemars Piguet collection.

Notable References in the Jules Audemars Collection

Jules Audemars Extra-Thin

Measuring just 6.7mm thick, this two-hand model is designed for formal minimalism. Available in white or rose gold variants, and often offered with diamond-set bezels, this piece pairs vintage restraint with modern finishing.

Jules Audemars Small Seconds

Perfect for collectors who appreciate compact dimensions, these watches are offered in 27mm to 36mm case diameters. Available in rose gold and white gold, they often feature subsidiary seconds and clean, classic dials.

Jules Audemars Minute Repeater Supersonnerie

One of the rare modern Jules Audemars models to integrate AP's patented Supersonnerie acoustic technology, this piece combines an enamel dial, slim bezel, and Roman numeral markers with the maison's most advanced chiming complication.

Jules Audemars Tourbillon in Rose Gold

This reference showcases a manually wound flying tourbillon in a warm rose gold case. The open architecture of the movement is visible through a sapphire caseback, and the restrained dial ensures the technical brilliance remains front and center.

Jules Audemars Grande Sonnerie Quarter Repeater

A masterpiece of complication, this model features a grande sonnerie with quarter repeater — capable of automatically chiming the hours and quarters without user activation. Executed in yellow gold with traditional dial typography, it's one of the most acoustically ambitious wristwatches ever produced by Audemars Piguet.

Jules Audemars Equation of Time

This astronomically driven timepiece displays the equation of time — the difference between solar time and standard time — alongside sunrise and sunset indicators calibrated to a specific city. Learn more in our dedicated feature: Watch of Wonder: The Jules Audemars Equation of Time .

Comparison with Millenary and Code 11.59 Collections

While the Millenary collection embraces off-centered dials and elliptical cases inspired by 19th-century pocket watches, and the Code 11.59 line pushes forward with architectural geometry and contemporary materials, the Jules Audemars remains the brand's most classical offering. It is a homage to traditional round watchmaking — where the complexity lies within the movement, not the silhouette.

Who This Is For

The Jules Audemars collection appeals to collectors who value mechanical sophistication wrapped in traditional aesthetics. Whether you're seeking a discrete ultra-thin dress watch or a grand complication steeped in heritage, this collection offers a curated path into AP's highest horological expressions.
