Audemars Piguet Ultra Thin - 18k White Gold Blue Sunburst Diamond Dial

Details
Pure Mid Century Watchmaking
Before the Royal Oak changed the landscape, Audemars Piguet built its legacy on elegant, exceptionally crafted dress watches. This piece from the 1960s is a clear expression of that heritage. It comes from a period when the brand focused on precious metals, slim profiles, and refined dials, operating as both a high-horology manufacture and a jeweler. This watch represents that mission, a time when classic design and movement finishing were the measure of a watchmaker's skill.
A Study In White Gold And Blue
The configuration here is what elevates the watch. The 18k white gold case provides a cool, understated frame for the deep blue sunburst dial. The color is rich, shifting with the light as it moves. Diamond markers add a touch of formality without overpowering the clean design. It is a combination that feels both confident and discreet, a testament to Audemars Piguet's mastery of materials and color.
Honest Condition For Its Age
This watch is in good condition, presenting as a well-preserved example from its era. The 18k white gold case shows signs of wear consistent with careful use and appears to be unpolished. The blue sunburst dial remains clean and vibrant, with the diamond markers securely in place. As with every watch we offer, this piece has been verified as mechanically sound and is ready to wear.
The Ritual Of Winding
This is a watch for someone who appreciates the craft of watchmaking beyond the hype of integrated sports models. The slim, manually-wound movement creates a bond between the owner and the machine. The ritual of winding the watch each morning is a physical connection to a different era of quality and intention. It is a smart choice for a collector who understands that true luxury is often found in the pieces that do not need to shout.

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….
