Hidden for Over 90 Years, Christie’s Unearths an Ultra-Rare 1930 Audemars Piguet Chronograph

A significant piece of watchmaking history is coming up for auction. Christie’s Geneva will be selling a very rare Audemars Piguet chronograph, known as the “Coussin Tortue” (Model No. 41,849), dating back to around 1930. Considered one of the earliest and most unusual chronograph wristwatches created by the famous Swiss brand, this watch has been with the original owner’s family for over 90 years and is appearing at auction for the first time. The auction will take place on May 11th at the Four Seasons Hotel des Bergues.
