A Different Side Of Audemars Piguet
Before the Royal Oak became the brand's defining model, Audemars Piguet was a master of the precious metal dress watch. This "Cobra" is a perfect expression of that legacy. It represents a period when the brand operated as both a watchmaker and a jeweler, creating pieces where the case and bracelet were as complex as the movement inside. The design is pure 1980s confidence, a seamless flow of textured 18K yellow gold from end to end. It is a reminder of AP's deep history in high-craft, elegant watchmaking.
The Reference, Finally Revealed
These vintage integrated bracelet models often exist without clear documentation, making precise identification difficult. This example is notable because it comes with its original papers and hang tag. This provenance not only adds to its story but also allowed us to finally confirm the correct reference number for this specific design. It is a small detail that humanizes the process of sourcing and verifying these pieces, connecting this watch directly to its original point of sale decades ago.
Excellent And Ready To Wear
This example is in excellent condition. The champagne diamond dial is perfect, as is the crystal. Its defining feature, the integrated 18K yellow gold bracelet, is in very good shape and presents beautifully on the wrist. The case and bezel are clean, showing only light signs of careful wear consistent with its age. As with every watch we offer, this piece has been verified as mechanically sound and is ready to wear.
Integrated Gold, Without The Hype
This watch is an accessible entry point into the world of integrated bracelet designs from a top-tier manufacturer. It offers the same wrist presence and solid-gold feel as more hyped models but with a distinct, jewelry-forward character. The manual-wind movement creates a daily ritual, a physical connection between the owner and the machine. It is the right choice for someone who appreciates Audemars Piguet's heritage beyond the obvious and wants a dressy piece that is both elegant and substantial.

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….
