Audemars Piguet Quartz Dress - Two-Tone Grey 'Hash' Dial

Trade In
Details
A Different Side Of Audemars Piguet
Before the Royal Oak became the brand's singular focus, Audemars Piguet was a master of the classic dress watch. This piece comes from a unique transitional period in the late 1980s when the manufacture was experimenting with new designs, materials, and technologies. It is a reminder of AP's deep heritage in case and bracelet making, executed with a sensibility that is entirely of its era. This watch represents a branch of the brand's history that is often overlooked but no less significant.
The Details That Define The Era
This watch is defined by its specific and unusual combination of features. The dial is a unique grey 'Hash' finish, offering a visual texture that separates it from standard sunburst or matte dials. It is paired with a two-tone 'Beads of Rice' bracelet, a design known for its comfort and intricate appearance. The quartz movement grounds the watch firmly in its time, offering a slim profile and grab-and-go practicality.
A Well Preserved Example
This watch is in very good condition. The grey 'Hash' dial is perfect, as is the crystal. The two-tone case is in good shape, showing honest wear consistent with its age and appears to be unpolished. The accompanying two-tone 'Beads of Rice' bracelet is also in very good condition, retaining its intricate form and comfortable fit. As with every watch we offer, this piece has been verified as mechanically sound and is ready to wear.
Understated And Distinctive
This is a watch for someone who appreciates the history of Audemars Piguet beyond the integrated bracelet sports models. It offers the prestige of a Holy Trinity brand in a subtle, classic, and highly wearable package. The two-tone execution works well in both casual and formal settings, and the quartz movement ensures it is always ready to wear. It is a confident choice for the collector who values design and heritage over hype.

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….
