Introduction

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 that was launched in the 1970s. Featuring a sideways rounded octagonal 18kt white gold case with an intricately woven 18kt white gold bracelet that flows into the bezel that encircles its blue diamond-set dial and fabulous diamond-set hands, this timepiece blends AP’s love of opulence with their desire to create truly unique designs. Boasting a thin mechanical 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 plethora of diamonds.

Our Perspective

A visually intriguing timepiece, the Cobra is a watch that speaks to AP's rich history in creating avant-garde designs that broke convention and challenged aesthetic norms.
