Audemars Piguet “TV Case” Oversize Dress Watch – 18K White Gold Blue Dial (Calibre 2001, Circa 1970s)

The Audemars Piguet “TV Case” Oversize is a rare and striking expression of the brand’s creative spirit during the 1970s—a period when the maison explored bold new forms while maintaining its traditional craftsmanship and ultra-thin mechanical excellence. This exceptional example, crafted entirely in solid 18K white gold, features a deep blue dial, manual Calibre 2001, and comes complete with its original box, strap, and buckle. Beautifully preserved and fully original, it represents a true connoisseur’s find.

The Case – Sculptural White Gold Modernism

The 34 x 32 mm white gold case (excluding crown and lugs) is immediately recognizable for its distinctive “TV screen” design—a hallmark of avant-garde 1970s horology. With a lug-to-lug length of 39.5 mm, the watch wears elegantly yet confidently, its proportions perfectly capturing the interplay between geometry and refinement that defined Audemars Piguet’s experimental dress watches of the era.

The case remains unpolished, preserving its crisp edges and deep hallmarks—a true rarity for a watch of this age. The white gold Audemars Piguet crown completes the composition, understated yet unmistakably luxurious.

Its minimalist, architectural form demonstrates the maison’s ability to blend cutting-edge design with timeless elegance—decades before integrated and shaped cases became mainstream.

The Dial – Deep Blue Sophistication

The very dark blue dial is mesmerizing, shifting between navy and almost black depending on the light. Its minimalist layout—clean baton indices and slim hands—lets the unique color and texture take center stage. The effect is quietly hypnotic, a reminder of how Audemars Piguet balanced bold design with restraint.

This dial, factory original, remains in stunning condition, showing only gentle aging consistent with its vintage nature. The simplicity and depth of the color make it one of the most elegant dials from the brand’s pre-Royal Oak era.

The Movement – Audemars Piguet Calibre 2001, Ultra-Thin Mastery

Powering this watch is the Audemars Piguet Calibre 2001, a manual-wound ultra-thin movement that stands as a technical triumph of its time. The calibre is beautifully constructed—slim, reliable, and finished to haute horlogerie standards, as expected from Audemars Piguet’s workshops in Le Brassus.

Renowned for its precision and delicacy, the Cal. 2001 is part of the same lineage that inspired many of AP’s finest dress watches throughout the 1960s and 1970s. The movement runs smoothly and accurately, underscoring its quality and the care with which this piece has been preserved.

The Strap & Buckle – All Original AP

This example retains its original Audemars Piguet alligator leather strap, adding an authentic touch to its already remarkable completeness. (Please note that for sales outside the EU, the strap may be removed due to CITES regulationsgoverning exotic leathers.)

Accompanying it is the original 18K white gold Audemars Piguet pin buckle, made by Wenger, one of AP’s historic Swiss suppliers. Together, they complete a fully original and cohesive presentation.

The watch also comes with its original Audemars Piguet box, making it an extraordinarily complete and collectible example.

Why This Watch?

Gorgeous Blanket
Color: Smoky Sable, Size: 60"x80", Color: Smoky Sable, Size: 60"x80"
Beautiful smoky sable brown. It’s wonderfully soft and fluffy. It’s kind of a unique color of brown and it’s made very well. Quality item. Could be used for all seasons since it has the fur on one side and the smooth velvet on the back which is not too hot in warmer months. The first one I ordered had a strange oily spot on it but the seller was very kind gave me a refund and sent me another one for free. Definitely recommend the product and the seller! The fur looks lighter in my pictures. It’s actually a good bit darker than what is depicted.

POLYESTER?!?!
Color: Ivory, Size: 2' x 3' (Pelt), Color: Ivory, Size: 2' x 3' (Pelt)
POLYESTER?!?! So i just bought several of these. Nice and big and fluffy, looked very clean, very nice. Cats instantly were scared/curious. The back of the skin, the wool, all looked nice, and then I noticed it had a tag on it... The tag says... 100% POLYESTER! What?!?!? This is supposed to be New Zealand Sheep Skin pelt! Shouldnt be any Polyester at all. So, just before I was about to return it, i did a small burn test. I cut off a small bunch of hair and burned it. The fire tried to light but it quickly extinguished itself. And the smell... yes... the smell told me it is REAL WOOL and the fact the fire went out right away also confirms this is not oil based. THIS IS REAL, This is NOT Polyester. I guess also a lot of ppl are returning because of the tag, so these are at a HUGE DISCOUNT!!! BUY THEM UP!!! They also came in vacuum packed bags, looked nice and kept very nice. These are excellent! See my photos, the tag, the burned bunch of hair... fire went out, i tried it three times, fire kept instantly going out... smells organic like animal hair when burned, not like oil/polyester. ENJOY!!! I PAID FOR THESE, I was not given anything here!

Love this product!
Color: Linen, Size: 2' x 3' (Pelt)
This sheepskin elevated a boring leather couch to a luxurious sitting space! I purchased 2, one for each loveseat, as sometimes the leather is a little cold. The sheepskin with a small lumbar pillow and voila! A cozy place everyone gravitates to! The sheepskin is soft and cozy and everyone comments they want one! ha probably will get this as a couple of gifts (for those guests that said they wanted one too)
