Audemars Piguet “TV Case” Oversize Dress Watch – 18K White Gold Blue Dial (Calibre 2001, Circa 1970s)

The Audemars Piguet “TV Case” Oversize is a rare and striking expression of the brand’s creative spirit during the 1970s—a period when the maison explored bold new forms while maintaining its traditional craftsmanship and ultra-thin mechanical excellence. This exceptional example, crafted entirely in solid 18K white gold, features a deep blue dial, manual Calibre 2001, and comes complete with its original box, strap, and buckle. Beautifully preserved and fully original, it represents a true connoisseur’s find.

The Case – Sculptural White Gold Modernism

The 34 x 32 mm white gold case (excluding crown and lugs) is immediately recognizable for its distinctive “TV screen” design—a hallmark of avant-garde 1970s horology. With a lug-to-lug length of 39.5 mm, the watch wears elegantly yet confidently, its proportions perfectly capturing the interplay between geometry and refinement that defined Audemars Piguet’s experimental dress watches of the era.

The case remains unpolished, preserving its crisp edges and deep hallmarks—a true rarity for a watch of this age. The white gold Audemars Piguet crown completes the composition, understated yet unmistakably luxurious.

Its minimalist, architectural form demonstrates the maison’s ability to blend cutting-edge design with timeless elegance—decades before integrated and shaped cases became mainstream.

The Dial – Deep Blue Sophistication

The very dark blue dial is mesmerizing, shifting between navy and almost black depending on the light. Its minimalist layout—clean baton indices and slim hands—lets the unique color and texture take center stage. The effect is quietly hypnotic, a reminder of how Audemars Piguet balanced bold design with restraint.

This dial, factory original, remains in stunning condition, showing only gentle aging consistent with its vintage nature. The simplicity and depth of the color make it one of the most elegant dials from the brand’s pre-Royal Oak era.

The Movement – Audemars Piguet Calibre 2001, Ultra-Thin Mastery

Powering this watch is the Audemars Piguet Calibre 2001, a manual-wound ultra-thin movement that stands as a technical triumph of its time. The calibre is beautifully constructed—slim, reliable, and finished to haute horlogerie standards, as expected from Audemars Piguet’s workshops in Le Brassus.

Renowned for its precision and delicacy, the Cal. 2001 is part of the same lineage that inspired many of AP’s finest dress watches throughout the 1960s and 1970s. The movement runs smoothly and accurately, underscoring its quality and the care with which this piece has been preserved.

The Strap & Buckle – All Original AP

This example retains its original Audemars Piguet alligator leather strap, adding an authentic touch to its already remarkable completeness. (Please note that for sales outside the EU, the strap may be removed due to CITES regulationsgoverning exotic leathers.)

Accompanying it is the original 18K white gold Audemars Piguet pin buckle, made by Wenger, one of AP’s historic Swiss suppliers. Together, they complete a fully original and cohesive presentation.

The watch also comes with its original Audemars Piguet box, making it an extraordinarily complete and collectible example.

Why This Watch?

Very Powerful Frother!!
Color: White
I’ve been using a frother daily for my drinks, and this one really impressed me with its power for such a compact size. It blends heavier powders into smooth, clump-free mixtures in seconds. I’m a big fan of the build—the metal whisk gives it a solid feel, and it comes with a stand to keep it neat on the counter instead of being shoved in a drawer. Cleaning is a breeze, just a quick rinse, and the rechargeable battery lasts much longer than I anticipated between charges. Just a little tip: start in a taller cup and don’t fill it all the way to the top, as this thing can create a serious vortex if you’re not careful. Overall, it’s been a super handy little tool, and I’m so glad I bought it.

Mixes my protein shake powder
Color: Blue
My husband and I both drink protein shakes daily. We have vortex mixers that work great, but they are plastic and getting old, and really needed to be replaced. In an effort to reduce microplastics in our lives, I am trying to use less plastic mixing cups. I couldn't find anything small enough (other than regular blenders) with glass and metal parts that would work well for us. During my search on here, several frothers showed up. This one caught my eye because of the amount of sales, quick delivery, and of course, decent pricing. Some of the reviews had me a little skeptical, and time will tell regarding the longevity, but so far I am pleased. My protein powders are on the heavy side, but this little frother really gets the job done. Instead of having to use separate mixing cups (saving me on dishwashing), I just use my morning coffee cup (it's big enough) to mix my protein shake in. My husband just uses a regular glass. Neither of us can believe the power this little thing has. We are getting smooth shakes! Here is what I really like about it: It is powerful and mixes well; the frother is metal and not plastic; it cleans extremely easy; after making several shakes the battery has not died; can be used in glasses, coffee cups, even disposable cups (when we buy donut shop coffee); and I love the little stand which takes up barely any counter space. Less plastic, less clean-up, dependable (so far), and small, making it convenient even for travel. I'm really glad I got this, and hope it will last. One last thing, do not turn it on while cleaning under running water. (Yes, you can laugh.)

Powerful frother with a long rechargeable battery life
Color: Black
After purchasing three of the battery operated frothers. I finally found this amazing frother. It is very powerful so you do have to be careful not to slosh liquid out of your cup when you’re using it. But I have found it helps if you rotate the frother in a stirring motion while you are using it. That really helps keep the liquid from overflowing out of the cup. It has a sleek design and is rechargeable and the charge less about two weeks.I love this one so much. I take it with me when I travel. I actually left my original one at my mother’s house the last time I visited her and have ordered another one for my house. Highly recommend.

Great Power and Creamy Foam
Color: White
This frother is amazing and has really good power. It creates creamy, smooth foam in seconds and works perfectly for iced lattes, cappuccinos, and matcha. I love that it’s rechargeable and lightweight, but still feels strong and high quality. As someone who loves coffee, this has become one of my favorite tools for making café-style drinks at home. Easy to use, easy to clean, and looks beautiful on my coffee station.

Powerful easy to operate but splashes
Color: Black
Excellent frother--Very powerful and easy to turn on/off with one button. The only downside is it requires a deep container in which to froth. The frothing pitcher I had was too small and milk splashes everywhere. There is no lower speed so it works fast. I am using a deep insulated container now for frothing. Otherwise, very quite, easy to operate no pushing down on the top like other frother wands. I love it as long as I can control it to limit the splashing.
