Audemars Piguet Cobra 5384 - 18K Yellow Gold
A Different Side Of Audemars Piguet
Before the Royal Oak, Audemars Piguet was a master of precious metal and integrated design. The Cobra is a perfect example of this era, a time when the brand blended watchmaking and jewelry with total confidence. The design is fluid and unified, with the case and bracelet flowing into one another as a single piece of sculpted gold. It's a product of a period that valued texture, form, and the sheer presence of a solid gold watch on the wrist.
The Unity Of An Integrated Piece
This is an early example of the Cobra reference. What stands out immediately is its heft and the singular feel that only an integrated bracelet can deliver. The entire watch feels like one solid object, a continuous ribbon of 18-karat gold. The design language is pure 1970s, a confident and unapologetic expression of luxury that has come back into focus for collectors who want something beyond the usual suspects.
An Honest Example From Its Era
The overall condition is good for its age. The champagne dial and crystal are both clean. The bracelet was previously repaired on the six o'clock underside, but is not noticeable. The caseback shows signs of past polishing due to thinner serial and hallmarks. The watch presents as a well-preserved piece from a distinct period in the brand's history otherwise, with the original finish on the bracelet. As with every watch we offer, this piece has been verified as mechanically sound and is ready to wear.
For The Confident Wrist
This watch works for someone who appreciates the high-design ethos of 1970s Audemars Piguet. It's not a subtle watch, nor is it trying to be. The Cobra is about the feeling of solid gold and the impact of a design that fully commits to its aesthetic at a level that represents a significant value in precious metal watchmaking.

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….
Can't recommend Danny's vintage watches enough!!! My first Omega ever and im in love have been wearing every day since I purchased it. Danny's shop is a must visit if you are in NYC looking for a watch!!!
