Audemars Piguet Day-Date 25573BA - 18K Yellow Gold Bullet Bracelet

Trade In
Details

A Legacy In Precious Metal

Before the Royal Oak became the brand's modern icon, Audemars Piguet was a master of the classical dress watch. This Day-Date from the 1980s is a pure expression of that heritage. It comes from a period when the manufacture focused on slim cases, precious metals, and complex integrated bracelets that required the same level of engineering as the movements inside. This watch is a direct link to the brand's foundational identity as one of the finest traditional watchmakers in Switzerland.

The Intricacy Of The Bullet Bracelet

The defining feature of this reference is its "bullet" style integrated bracelet. Each link is meticulously crafted, creating a fluid, jewelry-like feel on the wrist that is exceptionally comfortable. The design demonstrates AP's ability to operate as both a watchmaker and a jeweler, a skill that set them apart from many competitors. Paired with a clean cream colored dial and the useful day-date complication, the bracelet elevates this piece from a simple timepiece to a complete design object.

Very Good And Barely Worn

This example is in very good, lightly used condition. The cream dial is perfect, as is the crystal. The 18K yellow gold case appears unpolished and is in good shape, showing only minor signs of wear. A light, attractive tarnish has developed on some of the bracelet's "bullets," which darkens the gold in places and adds a pleasant visual contrast. As with every watch we offer, this piece has been verified as mechanically sound and is ready to wear.

A Statement Of Understated Craft

This is a watch for someone who appreciates Audemars Piguet's deeper history and values craftsmanship over hype. In a market dominated by steel sports models, a solid gold dress watch with a bracelet of this complexity makes a confident and sophisticated statement. It represents a level of design conviction and manufacturing quality that is increasingly difficult to find, offering a connection to the brand's true horological roots.

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….
