I know this caliber was developed in 1953 and that Audemars Piguet stopped producing it in 2002 (I don't know if VC stopped before or after that year).

5mm to 6mm sounds like a good guess for it, I'll try to measure it next week with my tool at school. I know the case is 33mm wide but that's pretty much all I can say for now. I have tried a Jumbo myself and know it's a really thin watch but it's relative to the fact that it remains a RO, which is a sports watch and therefore has a tougher case. As far as I know back in the days there was some competition between the big brands regarding such watches, the thinner the movement was the better it was and I know that JLC and AP have released some pretty amazing references in that category.

Here are pictures of the side of the watch to give you an idea of how thin it really is.



Thanks for sharing!! Awesome vintage!!

Amazingly thin. Does it have a Piaget-based movement?

Not quite Andreas, the AP 2003 is based on a Jaeger-Lecoultre ébauche.

Ofc I heartily recommend the RG ROC, just don't bet the 400 to get one!

I'm in quite a roulette phase myself right now and the moment I start thinking I might start betting enough to win an AP, I know is the moment I might lose one, only way to keep your feet on the ground!
