Audemars Piguet 3120

Probable

Runs at 21,600 vph, which is slower than most Swiss automatics of its era and is a quick identifier: the seconds hand's beat is visibly different from a 28,800 vph movement. Visible through the display back on the references that carry it, with the rotor's openworked gold form as its most recognisable feature.
