    What is the difference between Audemars Piquet and Audemars Piguet ?

    What is the difference between Audemars Piquet and Audemars Piguet ?

    I have one watch that belongs to friend of mine that has on a dial Audemars Piquet.
    Looking at the net (mostly google) I found out that there are some models that have Piaget and other Piquet (G/Q difference).

    Watch has signed case (Audemars Piguet) and signed movement (Audemars Piguet),only on dial it says Piquet

    What do you think?

    :thanks

    How old is the watch? maybe part of the "g" is missing? maybe a printing error, or maybe a replacement dial from non-company source.
    Sounds strange.

    searching brings up this...Audemars Piquet for Stowell & Co. Boston; Circa: 1890(maybe this refers to a company called Piquet owned by Stowell & Co useing Audemars movements.)

    Incidentally, I'm sure you're all aware that there is a watch firm called "Audemars" which is not related at all to AP. Apparently in some areas of Switzerland it is a common enough family name.

    We have a brand of chewing gum here in Australia called P.K. Sounds like Piquet. I wonder if there is a connection...
