Firstly that’s a great way to get into AP, they are an amazing brand. Unless I get beaten to it I’ll send photos later when I’m home, I think there are 3 that I have. As the Jumbo is 50 years old next year there could well be a book released then.

The book in this picture is one that was gifted to me by the boutique. It comes in different select languages. It should be available from a number of sources.
I hope that helps.

^^^^^^that is one of the books I have. This one is ‘similar’ to the Sebastian Faulks Patek book in that it covers the history of the manufacturer.

love these two. Checkout watchprint.com, I've ordered a bunch of watch books from there and really enjoyed them, they have a wide array of rare and limited watch books.
