Collection Overview
Between 1930 and 1939, AP launched the 20, 40, and 60 series, representing small, medium, and large versions respectively.
1949 years after the war, AP60 Garantie Fuzes resumed production until 1955, when the Precious Metals series was introduced, marking the start of manufacturing corresponding 835 silver variants.
Based on the product manuals that have been preserved:
1949 Product Catalog: First listing of the AP60 Standard Chrome model; no silver-plated version available.
1955 Fall New Arrivals Supplement: Added three new finish variants—AP60 Silber 835, AP60 Luxus Gold Plated, and AP60 Leder (Leather)—marked as Q4 releases for the year.
1962 Annual Product Catalog: No longer listing all AP60 sub-models; the entire line is replaced with the Pilot S Slim ultra-thin models.
