Audemars Piguet Heavy Cobra - 18K White Gold Diamond Dial

Details
A Legacy In Precious Metal
Before the Royal Oak reshaped modern watch design, Audemars Piguet built its legacy on high-craft dress watches that blurred the line between watchmaking and jewelry. This piece is a perfect product of that era, a time when the brand operated as a jeweler just as much as a watch manufacturer. The integrated "Woven" bracelet is not an accessory, but a core part of the design, flowing seamlessly into the case. It is an expression of a design philosophy where the entire watch is treated as a single piece of sculpture for the wrist.
Heavy Gold, Intricate Design
This example, with its substantial weight in 18K white gold, lives up to the "Heavy Cobra" name. It has a commanding physical presence that underscores its high-end execution. The intricate woven texture of the bracelet is a masterclass in goldsmithing, creating a surface that plays with light in a way a simple polished finish cannot. Paired with a silver brushed dial and diamond markers, the watch is a confident statement from a definitive period of avant-garde design.
Excellent And Uncompromised
This example is in excellent condition. The 18K white gold case and integrated bracelet show beautifully, a testament to the quality of the original finishing. The silver brushed dial and its diamond markers are clean, and the crystal is free of notable marks. It is a well-preserved piece from a distinct and important era of watchmaking. As with every watch we offer, this piece has been verified as mechanically sound and is ready to wear.
The Art Of Daily Winding
This piece is for someone who appreciates the design-first ethos of vintage Audemars Piguet. It is a confident alternative to the sport watches that dominate today's market. The manual wind movement requires a daily interaction, creating a direct connection between the owner and the machine. It is a tactile ritual that grounds the experience of wearing a finely crafted mechanical object.

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….
