Details

Here's a vintage Audemars Piguet ladies “Bamboo” in 18K white gold (two tone yellow gold) with a matte champagne dial and bezel from the 1980s. Keeps great time and is fully functional. Measurements include a 24mm case size across and an integrated bracelet that fits up to a 6 inch wrist. It's an odd tank shape and design from a brand that is a one trick pony with the royal oak. Interesting texture/ design in the in the tapered integrated “bamboo” style bracelet. Gold Dauphine hands. Matching gold hands and hour markers. White gold case and bracelet. The piece is great alternative and value from other pieces offered by AP. All parts are original including the dial, case, and movement. the dial and case are in great cosmetic, untouched condition.

Ready to wear!

 

History

The Bamboo takes its name and its texture from the jointed, segmented stalk: the bracelet links are shaped and finished to evoke the node-and-internode rhythm of the plant, creating an integrated watch that feels like jewelry while functioning as a serious timekeeping instrument.

Produced in the 1980s in 18-karat yellow and white gold with manual and quartz movements, the Bamboo references 2508 and 5620CA represent two ends of the spectrum — a diamond pave dial and bracelet on the 2508, a more austere grey brushed dial on the 5620CA. Both wear well under 32mm and were designed with a specific wearer in mind: someone for whom the watch and the bracelet are the same thing.

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….
