Audemars Piguet Automatic Skeleton - 18K Yellow Gold Diamond Bezel

Details
A Masterclass In Open-Worked Gold

Before the Royal Oak became the brand's centerpiece, Audemars Piguet was a master of the classical dress watch. This piece from the 1990s is a direct link to that heritage. It combines three distinct disciplines: high jewelry, case making, and the complex art of skeletonization. The open-worked movement isn't just a gimmick, it is the entire point of the watch, showcasing the intricate finishing and mechanical soul from both the front and the back. It represents a confident era of design where craftsmanship was the primary attraction.


The Art Of The Integrated Bracelet

What sets this example apart is the integrated 18K yellow gold bracelet. The complex weave is a style not often seen, and it demonstrates AP's ability to function as both a watchmaker and a high-end jeweler. The bracelet isn't an afterthought, it is a core component of the design that flows directly from the case. This level of integration creates a seamless and substantial feel on the wrist, making the watch wear like a single, cohesive piece of sculpted gold.


Excellent And Ready To Wear

This Audemars Piguet is in excellent overall condition. The 18K yellow gold case and bracelet are well-preserved, and the factory-set diamonds on the bezel are in nice shape. The skeletonized movement is clearly visible through both the front and exhibition caseback, with all its intricate details intact. As with every watch we offer, this piece has been verified as mechanically sound and is ready to wear.


A Statement Of Pure Craft

This is a watch for someone who appreciates the fundamental skills of watchmaking over brand hype. The case is a classic dress proportion that wears elegantly on the wrist. It is a piece that prioritizes the art of movement finishing and the beauty of precious metal. In a market saturated with steel sport watches, this AP stands out as a sophisticated expression of traditional craft from one of history's most important manufactures.

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….
