Details

A Refined Expression Of A Storied Heritage

Before the Royal Oak reshaped the brand, Audemars Piguet built its legacy as a master of high-end dress watches. This 18K white gold Ellipse, with its matte black diamond dial and diamond-set bezel, is a prime example of that era. It showcases the manufacture's skill in combining intricate precious metal work with subtle gem-setting, creating a piece that has flash without being overstated. This watch reflects a time when Audemars Piguet operated as both a watchmaker and a jeweler, blurring the lines between the two disciplines.

Subtle Luxury In White Gold

This particular Ellipse embodies a distinct approach to luxury. The matte black dial provides a deep, understated backdrop for the diamond accents, while the diamond-set bezel adds sparkle without overwhelming the elegant lines of the white gold case. The integrated 18K white gold bracelet completes the sophisticated aesthetic, creating a cohesive and distinguished look. It is a configuration that balances overt opulence with refined taste.

Excellent Condition, Ready To Wear

This Audemars Piguet Ellipse is in excellent condition. The 18K white gold case, which appears unpolished, and integrated bracelet remain sharp, and the matte black diamond dial is pristine. As with every watch we offer, this piece has been verified as mechanically sound and is ready to wear.

An Understated Statement Piece

This watch is for the collector who appreciates the artistry of vintage Audemars Piguet beyond its most famous references. The Ellipse shape offers a distinct alternative to traditional round cases, and the white gold with diamond accents provides a versatile elegance. It is a confident choice that speaks to an informed appreciation for the brand's rich history in fine watchmaking and jewelry.

I knew I was gonna like Danny, based on his name, but nothing could’ve prepared me for how great of an experience this was. He had the most beautiful 70s Seamaster Cosmic on his website and I was set to be married 2 days later - I arranged to buy it but before leaving we both realized it needed to be serviced. I panicked, because I was literally buying this for my wedding, and Danny being the legend he is, loaned me a nearly identical Seamaster to make sure I could get through the event Never have I had someone go so above and beyond for me, especially while purchasing one of the lesser priced items in their inventory. He serviced my watch and exchanged it with me after the wedding on a super fast turnaround timeline. I would sincerely recommend you visit this guy, you will not be disappointed Edit: adding a pic of the loaner (two tone) and the owner (crosshair)

Great service and shop. Danny and his team were incredibly accommodating, professional, and kind. Great selection of vintage watches. Their store is the hidden gem in the diamond district.

This was my first real luxury watch purchase, a Rolex 15200 Date 34mm, I own Tissots and a Laco, but those are entry level luxury watches. I found Danny’s Vintage Watches online, and had great feedback both on Google, Chrono24 and the Reddit watch community. So decided to give him a shot as buying online can be a crap shoot. Ordered Monday night, was at my doorstep Friday morning. Despite the watch being over 30 years old, serial number says it’s from 91, the watch looked new. Didn’t come with box or papers, and was shipped in a plastic sleeve wrapped in bubble wrap. Danny was always available to answer questions. I’ll be buying from Danny again for the next purchase…saw a couple of Speedmasters on his site I liked….
