Lovingly nicknamed the “Owl” by collects ors, the reference 25574BA is distinguished by a dial layout of balance and character. Two perfectly proportioned recessed subsidiary registers display the day and date, their symmetry lending the watch its affectionate moniker. The enamel dial is complemented by applied black Roman numerals and a finely rendered minute track.


The stepped yellow gold case sits flat and comfortably on the wrist, its elegant proportions underscoring the watch’s dress-oriented design. The configuration of the case and lugs faithfully preserves its distinctly vintage character, reflecting the sophistication of the era in which it was produced.


Manufactured in the 1980s, this reference has lost none of its appeal. It continues to embody the t.mes less elegance for which Audemars Piguet is renowned.
