Audemars Piguet Carnegie Tonneau

The story

The Audemars Piguet Carnegie Tonneau ref. 14941BA belongs to the brand’s documented 1990s catalogue, with a tonneau-shaped case that gives it a distinct character beyond the familiar round dress watch. Powered by the AP Caliber 2080, it offers a restrained expression of Audemars Piguet: compact proportions, precious metal and an uncluttered presence on the wrist. This example, dated 1995–2000, pairs a white dial with a 25 mm case in 18K yellow gold with high-grade VVS clarity diamonds set on both sides of the case. The contrast is simple and considered: a pale dial framed by the warmth of gold, with the curved case outline providing its own quiet detail. Presented in excellent condition, it retains its original Audemars Piguet leather strap and 18K gold buckle, carrying the material language of the case through to the fastening. Offered as a Semi Full Set with its box and service papers, it suits a collector drawn to the Carnegie’s shape or a wearer who prefers modest dimensions. Imagine it beneath a shirt cuff, its gold briefly catching the light—a discreet companion to everyday routines and occasions worth remembering. Available to view by appointment.
