[royerlich]

Hey, can anyone help my identify my AP? I was my grandfather's father watch, the red hand is probably not original and the leather strap is not the original one. Thanks.

I'm no expert. That may even be a fraudemars Piguet.

I suggest you take it to AP service center and request for a copy of archives. Its gonna cost about 150-200 dollars, and you will get full details of the watch (when it is sold etc).

Not everybody is a vintage expert and even vintage experts don't know all the references, but the AP archives services do. Most jewelers / experts won't be aware of many older references and most stuff we see on the forums are made post 1970s.
