Audemars Piguet Heavy Cobra - 18K Yellow Gold Woven Bracelet

Details

A Statement In Solid Gold Craftsmanship

Before the Royal Oak, Audemars Piguet built its reputation on pieces exactly like this. The "Heavy Cobra" is a pure expression of the brand's mastery over precious metals, blurring the line between high watchmaking and fine jewelry. It comes from an era when case design and bracelet construction were as important as the movements inside them. With over one hundred grams of solid gold, this watch is a reminder of a time when luxury was defined by substance and uncompromising craft.

The Art Of The Integrated Bracelet

What distinguishes this piece is the intricate, woven texture of the integrated 18k yellow gold bracelet. It is not an afterthought but the central design element, flowing directly from the case to create a single, cohesive form. The champagne brushed dial provides a subtle, warm backdrop that allows the complexity of the goldwork to stand out. It feels substantial on the wrist, a solid and confident piece of seventies design that wears like a piece of bespoke jewelry.

A Very Good Seventies Example

This example is in very good condition. The 18k yellow gold case and integrated bracelet are well-maintained. On the dial, there is some light smudging near the 12 and 1 o'clock markers. As with every watch we offer, this piece has been verified as mechanically sound and is ready to wear.

Unmistakable Seventies Confidence

This watch is for someone who appreciates the deep heritage of Audemars Piguet beyond the usual references. It makes a strong statement without being ostentatious, relying on the quality of its materials and the skill of its construction. The manual-wind movement requires a daily interaction, creating a direct connection between the owner and the machine. It is a confident choice that is distinct from anything being produced today, representing a different kind of value for the discerning collector.

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….
