Reviving a Rarity: Audemars Piguet [Re]Master 01 Chronograph



The most dominant trend in the watch industry continues to be vintage revivals. And invariably, it?s the brands with a rich tapestry of work in their historical archives that tend to thrive in the category.

The new chronograph has a limited run ? only 500 pieces will be made ? and it does an impressive job of evoking the spirit of the original with its two-tone steel and rose-gold case com...
