Details
The Other Side Of Audemars Piguet
Before the Royal Oak became its modern signature, Audemars Piguet built its legacy on high-craft dress watches. This piece is a pure expression of that identity, where the line between a timepiece and a piece of jewelry simply disappears. Executed entirely in 18K yellow gold, from the case to the integrated bracelet, it represents a time when the manufacture operated as a master jeweler. The factory diamond bezel is not an afterthought, but a central component of a design conceived as a whole.
Integrated Design And A Hidden Crown
This watch showcases the brand's mastery of case and bracelet integration. The lines flow seamlessly from one to the other, creating a single, fluid object for the wrist. The most distinct feature is the crown, which is cleverly relocated to the case back to preserve the perfect symmetry of the silhouette. This unconventional detail, along with the hallmark, underscores a design philosophy that prioritized aesthetic purity above all else. It is a watch for someone who appreciates subtle but significant details.
A Clean And Sharp Presentation
This example is in very good condition. The gold dial is excellent and clean, and the crystal is clear, providing an unobstructed view. The watch presents with the sharp lines and solid feel of a well-preserved piece of precious metal. The factory diamond setting is secure and brilliant, framing the dial. As with every watch we offer, this piece has been verified as mechanically sound and is ready to wear.
Elegant And Unconventional
This is a watch for the person who understands Audemars Piguet's deeper history. It is less about telling time and more about wearing a piece of meticulously crafted gold. The petite case size is classic and refined, and the quartz movement adds an element of grab-and-go convenience to an otherwise high-concept design. It is a statement of taste that favors the brand's rich heritage in dress watch manufacturing over its more common sports models.

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….
