Details
A Reminder Of AP's Other Identity
Before the Royal Oak, Audemars Piguet built its legacy on pieces exactly like this. It comes from an era when the brand operated as a master jeweler and watchmaker in equal measure, blurring the line between the two disciplines. This is not a watch with diamonds, it is a piece of high jewelry that tells time. The combination of a fully paved dial, a double-row diamond bezel, and ruby hour markers represents the highest level of the brand's catalog from the period.
Haute Joaillerie In White Gold
This execution is a masterclass in material and form. The case, dial, and bracelet are rendered in 18K white gold, creating a single, flowing object for the wrist. Hundreds of diamonds cover the dial and bezel, with deep red ruby indices providing a sharp, necessary contrast. This is a factory-set piece, where every element was designed to work together from the beginning. The result is a watch that feels entirely cohesive, a testament to the brand's heritage in complex casemaking and gem-setting.
An Excellent And Uncompromised Example
The watch is in excellent condition. The 18K white gold case and integrated bracelet are incredibly well-preserved. The pave diamond dial is perfect and the bezel is in very good shape. The bracelet shows no defects and the entire piece presents with a cohesive and sharp look that reflects careful ownership. As with every watch we offer, this piece has been verified as mechanically sound and is ready to wear.
For The Collector Who Understands
This is a watch for someone who appreciates the craft of Audemars Piguet beyond its sports models. It is a confident, powerful statement from a time when elegance was the primary design driver. The manual-wind movement inside is a connection to traditional watchmaking, a quiet mechanical heart beating beneath the brilliant exterior. Winding it each day is a reminder of the dual expertise required to create a piece of this caliber.

What Our Clients Say About Us

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….
