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?

The Audemars Piguet “TV Case” Oversize Blue Dial represents a rare convergence of design innovation and mechanical artistry.

A truly gorgeous and rare Audemars Piguet, it stands as a museum-worthy example of discreet luxury from one of Switzerland’s most revered maisons—an icon of design purity and mid-century elegance.

Cheap and good
Color: Black, Color: Black
I chose the color black and it gives a really nice look, especially with the multicolor led lights around the keys. It is very easy to clean and you can shut off the keyboard to prevent any mess with the iPad. The magnet is very nice and keeps the keyboard in place. The keyboard doesn’t easily slip or anything so it holds the iPad very well. Only bad thing is that over time the iPad begins to scrape off the pain and it leaves your keyboard with some white spots all over :/ but if looks isn’t something that you care about, this is the keyboard for you. Don’t use it for gaming because there is a delay in functionality when you press a key and then try to use the pad. Also, you have to press the keys a bit harder than the usual keyboard. But for the price? This is a great item! Definitely worth my money

Great quality at a remarkable price
Color: Navy Blue
I got an iPad and was looking for a cover to protect it. I came across this case that has a Bluetooth keyboard. It seems to be working great. It was less than $30 and had 4.5 stars with over 4k reviews. The keyboard is magnetic and detachable, so I’ve got lots of configuration options. The keyboard pairs easily and allows you to use the iPad like a laptop. The point of an iPad a lot in one shot is kind of the touchscreen, but when I’m typing a lot of text as once (like now), it’s really nice to have a physical keyboard and touchpad. The keys are comfortably spaced and I’m comfortable typing on it. There is no additional setup for the keyboard besides pairing it to the iPad. At that point, all the cursor and keyboard features are immediately available. The case is well built and has nice features like a slot to hold a stylus and multiple grooves to set your viewing angle. It’s configured to be used in landscape mode, but if for some reason you wanted to use it in portrait mode, you can pop the keyboard off to lay it flat. Especially for the price, this is an exceptionally nice iPad cover.
