Audemars Piguet Cobra - 18K White Gold Silver Glitter Diamond Dial

Trade In
Details
A Masterpiece Of Texture And Light
Before the Royal Oak became the brand's icon, Audemars Piguet was a master of the integrated bracelet dress watch. This "Cobra" from the 1980s is a perfect example of that legacy. It is a piece where the line between high watchmaking and high jewelry completely disappears. The entire watch, from the case to the intricately braided bracelet, is crafted from solid 18K white gold. It represents a period of unapologetic design and craftsmanship that is now attracting serious collector attention.
A Dial Designed To Perform
The configuration of this Cobra is exceptional. The dial is finished with a silver glitter texture that catches light from every angle, creating a dynamic effect that a simple sunburst finish cannot match. Instead of standard markers, it features six diamonds, with a unique cluster of three at the 12 o'clock position and singles at 3, 6, and 9. This thoughtful arrangement is paired with a beautifully executed braided bracelet, a complex style that demonstrates AP's mastery over precious metal.
Excellent Form, Ready To Wear
This example is in very good condition. The 18K white gold case and integrated bracelet are in great shape, showing a level of preservation consistent with a piece that has been carefully worn. The silver glitter dial is clean, and all diamond markers are secure. The braided bracelet flows seamlessly from the case and retains its intricate pattern and structural integrity. As with every watch we offer, this piece has been verified as mechanically sound and is ready to wear.
For The Collector Who Sees Beyond The Octagon
This is a watch for someone who appreciates the deeper history of Audemars Piguet. It is a statement of taste that favors texture and form over pure utility. The manual wind movement requires a daily interaction, a quiet moment of winding that builds a real connection between the owner and the object. In a market dominated by steel sport models, this solid gold piece of wearable art stands apart as a confident and sophisticated choice.

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….
