What is the dial on Audemars Piguet called?

1 Answer
The dial on the Audemars Piguet is simply called a dial. However, many Audemars Piguet timepieces feature an iconic textural effect known as Tapisserie. Watches with Tapisserie patterning on their dials show off raised squares arranged in a grid. Applying the patterning is a complex process that involves engraving, lathing and pantography, a method of reproducing drawings mechanically by increasing and decreasing their size.
