Audemars Piguet Cobra - Diamond dial
Offered here is an extremely uncommon vintage Audemars Piguet Cobra C Series, a rare and elegant model that quietly embodies the forward-thinking design language of its era. Crafted in solid 18k white gold, this Cobra features a distinctive 28mm shaped oval case, seamlessly integrated into a uniquely textured white gold bracelet that drapes like silk across the wrist — a nod to the house’s expertise in both horology and haute joaillerie.
What sets this piece apart is the stunning matte navy blue dial, minimally adorned with diamond hour markers that shimmer subtly against the deep tone of the dial. The layout is clean, luxurious, and distinctly 1970s — a masterclass in understated glamour.
The watch is in unpolished and beautifully preserved original condition, maintaining its crisp edges, finely finished surfaces, and original factory integrity. It is fully functional and running well, and all parts are 100% original, including the dial, case, and manual wind movement.
This is not just a timepiece — it's a piece of wearable modernist art, created by one of the most prestigious maisons in Swiss watchmaking. The rare dial and case combo, paired with the sculptural integrated bracelet, make this a standout piece whether worn daily or reserved for refined occasions.
If you’re seeking a versatile and stylish vintage watch that complements both formal attire and everyday wear, this Audemars Piguet Cobra delivers with ease. It’s equally compelling for seasoned collectors or for someone ready to make their first serious vintage acquisition.
Now available exclusively at our flagship New York City boutique or online.

cannot recommend Danny’s Vintage Watches highly enough. I recently went through the process of selling my father’s Rolex, and the team made what could have been a stressful experience incredibly smooth and fair. I ended up trading for three absolute icons: two Cartier Tanks and a vintage Omega Speedmaster. The attention to detail on these pieces was impressive the Speedmaster was in beautiful condition, and the Cartier had been expertly re-plated and polished, looking practically new. What really sets Danny’s apart, though, is the after-care. When I unfortunately busted the crystal on one of the Cartier's eight months later, they sorted the repair quickly and for a very reasonable price. They even went the extra mile by referring me to a trusted jeweler for a ring resizing, where I’m certain their relationship helped me get a better deal. Their shop is filled with incredible finds. If you are a serious enthusiast or just looking for a fair, honest dealer, this is the place. I’ll definitely be back for my next "grail" watch!

Absolutely unreal experience. Found them from Facebook. Figured I’d browse the site. Fell in love with a patek, texted them, and they (specifically David) were so amazing and easy to chat with about options and inventory, process etc. Came in to pick up the watch - man, as you probably know - you cannot understate how great their selection is. That’s really one of the best parts as well. The service is great; they treat their clients great, prices are very good - but the curation is another huge stand out part. Anyway - these fellas were so great when we came in, that my wife was determined that we buy a watch for her, - you know just to help the business. Not for her, she insists, but because of how great the guys at the shop were. And I agreed so I obliged. :P It’s honestly a 10/10 shop. As we speak they are reworking both our watches to fit our bracelet and I’ll add photos when I pick up the watches. Heck, 11/10. They’re that good. Go there, you will not regret it! But it might be very hard not to leave with something

If I could give more than 5 stars I would. They were so kind and actually cared what I bought as a present. We've already purchased from them again and will do more in the future. Incredible selection of pristine watches
