This 40mm Audemars Piguet Huitieme model is an extraordinary watch that was made at the special request of the Audemars Piguet U.S. authorized retailer, Time Products, Inc owned by the Margulies family. Time Products, Inc. and Audemars Piguet have a rich and beneficial history of working with one another. In the 1970s, Time Products, Inc. took over the distribution for AP in North America, Europe, and Switzerland and helped grow AP to the majorly successful brand it is today.

Marcus Margulies, of the famed Margulies family within the watch world and owner of the Marcus boutique in London, has built strong relationships with many brands throughout the course of his life. So much so, that occasionally "Marcus Edition" watches are produced. The present watch is one of these and is extremely rare. The extract from the archives of Audemars Piguet confirms that there are less than ten of these models produced. This is an amazing opportunity to own a very limited, collector's edition watch.
