Its calibre 2129\/2845 was developed around the Jaeger-LeCoultre 928 architecture, combining a second time zone, pointer date and power-reserve indication.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-renderer-start-pos=\"2723\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-renderer-start-pos=\"2992\"\u003eEarly examples featured a 48-hour power-reserve scale, while later dial executions adopted a 36-hour scale. This distinction makes the earlier configuration particularly interesting to collectors and reflects Audemars Piguet's tradition of combining practical complications with classical Swiss watchmaking.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Audemars Piguet","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57612705759556,"sku":"W-3890","price":12900.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0574\/2546\/1430\/files\/W-3890AudemarsPiguetDualTime25685002BAin18kYellowGoldboxandPaper_348_1x1_8a55c947-4edc-4f94-8635-01499651a919.jpg?v=1793285992","url":"https:\/\/bulangandsons.fr\/products\/audemars-piguet-dual-time-ref-25685-002ba-in-18k-yellow-gold-with-box-and-papers-w3890","provider":"Bulang and Sons EU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
