Audemars Piguet Bamboo - 18K Yellow Gold
We’re excited to offer one of the rarest and most elegant variations of a true vintage icon: the Audemars Piguet Bamboo in 18k yellow gold. Most examples found in the wild tend to be in pretty rough shape with heavy wear, polished case and bracelets, or extremely short, which is what makes this one even better.
It's in amazing shape, in all original condition with its unpolished case and bracelet, the bracelet is also full-length from the day it was sold back in the day which is not common to see as almost all of them have been cut down to smaller sizes.
The watch features a 27mm yellow gold case, paired with its signature integrated bamboo-style bracelet that gives the piece its name. Despite its size, this model wears beautifully thanks to its slim profile and substantial gold weight. It feels luxurious on the wrist—solid, smooth, and comfortable, with a unique bonus: the bracelet doesn’t pull at wrist hairs, unlike many vintage designs, making it perfect for everyday or dress wear.
The champagne horizontal stripe dial is clean and minimal, with no hour markers that give it a timeless, refined look. It’s a classic AP aesthetic—elegant, understated, and impeccably balanced. The overall condition is excellent, and the watch is completely original, including the crown and bracelet.
The Bamboo bracelet design is one of Audemars Piguet’s most iconic vintage case styles. It blends sharp 1970s design language with delicate, almost jewelry-like craftsmanship. These pieces were handmade in small numbers during a time when AP was focused on boutique-level production. The white gold variant is especially sought-after due to its rarity, subtlety, and cool-toned sophistication.
If you’re looking for a rare, elegant, and wearable piece of Audemars Piguet history, this white gold Bamboo stands out as a collector-grade treasure—unisex, stylish, and incredibly well-preserved.

cannot recommend Danny’s Vintage Watches highly enough. I recently went through the process of selling my father’s Rolex, and the team made what could have been a stressful experience incredibly smooth and fair. I ended up trading for three absolute icons: two Cartier Tanks and a vintage Omega Speedmaster. The attention to detail on these pieces was impressive the Speedmaster was in beautiful condition, and the Cartier had been expertly re-plated and polished, looking practically new. What really sets Danny’s apart, though, is the after-care. When I unfortunately busted the crystal on one of the Cartier's eight months later, they sorted the repair quickly and for a very reasonable price. They even went the extra mile by referring me to a trusted jeweler for a ring resizing, where I’m certain their relationship helped me get a better deal. Their shop is filled with incredible finds. If you are a serious enthusiast or just looking for a fair, honest dealer, this is the place. I’ll definitely be back for my next "grail" watch!

Absolutely unreal experience. Found them from Facebook. Figured I’d browse the site. Fell in love with a patek, texted them, and they (specifically David) were so amazing and easy to chat with about options and inventory, process etc. Came in to pick up the watch - man, as you probably know - you cannot understate how great their selection is. That’s really one of the best parts as well. The service is great; they treat their clients great, prices are very good - but the curation is another huge stand out part. Anyway - these fellas were so great when we came in, that my wife was determined that we buy a watch for her, - you know just to help the business. Not for her, she insists, but because of how great the guys at the shop were. And I agreed so I obliged. :P It’s honestly a 10/10 shop. As we speak they are reworking both our watches to fit our bracelet and I’ll add photos when I pick up the watches. Heck, 11/10. They’re that good. Go there, you will not regret it! But it might be very hard not to leave with something

If I could give more than 5 stars I would. They were so kind and actually cared what I bought as a present. We've already purchased from them again and will do more in the future. Incredible selection of pristine watches
