Audemars Piguet Cobra - 18k White Gold Black Diamond Dial

Trade In
Details

Jewelry, Timepiece, And Sculpture In One

The Cobra hails from the same era of intense design creativity that produced the Royal Oak. While its famous sibling explored steel, the Cobra showcased Audemars Piguet's mastery of precious metals and jewelry craft. It represents a time when the brand operated as both a high-horology manufacture and a master jeweler, blurring the lines between the two disciplines. Here, 18k gold was treated like a canvas for texture and form, resulting in a piece of wearable sculpture that is a testament to an era of unconventional elegance.

The Power Of White Gold And Diamonds

This example is executed entirely in 18k white gold, a choice that gives the watch a cool, substantial presence on the wrist. The integrated bracelet is a feat of engineering, flowing seamlessly from the case with a texture that defines the Cobra design. Its black dial is set with diamonds, providing a sharp, luxurious contrast to the monochromatic metalwork. This is the kind of high-level configuration that AP excelled at, creating a piece that feels both of its era and remarkably contemporary.

A Well Preserved White Gold Example

The watch is in good overall condition. The 18k white gold case and integrated bracelet are in great shape, displaying the intricate texture that is central to the design. The crystal is clear and free of any notable imperfections. This is a strong, honest example of a model that is becoming increasingly appreciated by collectors for its unique design language. As with every watch we offer, this piece has been verified as mechanically sound and is ready to wear.

A Statement Of Independent Taste

This watch is for someone who understands the depth of Audemars Piguet's history beyond its most famous model. It offers a level of design conviction and material quality that is difficult to find anywhere else. The manual-wind movement requires a daily interaction, a quiet moment each morning to power the machine. This ritual creates a bond between the owner and the object, a physical connection that is lost with automatic watches. It is a confident choice that signals an appreciation for craft over hype.

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….
