Famed for their aggressively avant-garde take on design and aesthetics, Audemars Piguet has long been known to blend aspects of their history with their own take on horology. As a result, timepieces that feature both - period-defining designs and aspects of AP’s historical DNA can be produced, just like this ‘Cobra.’ Featuring a sleek tonneau-shaped case with a luxurious 18kt yellow gold construction with an intricately woven 18kt yellow gold bracelet and bezel encircling a black dimple dial, this timepiece blends AP’s love for luxury with their desire to create truly unique designs. Powered by a wonderfully thin automatic movement, this timepiece ensures that AP’s clientele could enjoy AP’s high level of horology design, all the while enjoying a watch that is compact on the wrist and wears like an elegant dress watch just with a beautifully intricate and opulent sense of design through its immaculately woven bracelet and uniquely textured dial.

Watch is in excellent overall condition. Case shows some surface oxidation and minor signs of wear and scratches. The black dimple dial has some minor edge wear around 5 o'clock. The caseback engravings are crisp and fully visible. The watch fits an approx 7 1/4" wrist, and has little stretch.

A distinctive watch that boasts an aesthetic long lost from AP's design language, the Cobra harks back to the elaborate designs of the 1980s that used watches as a vehicle for luxury.
