Audemars Piguet Bamboo — 18k White Gold, Diamond Horizontal Dial
Audemars Piguet Bamboo — 18k White Gold, Diamond Horizontal Dial
Price varies by material and stone selection.
A distinctive and rarely encountered configuration within Audemars Piguet's Bamboo collection, this 18k white gold example features a diamond-set dial with a horizontal layout — a subtle but significant departure from the conventional pavé arrangements seen across the range. The horizontal orientation creates a sense of structured elegance, the diamonds arranged in disciplined rows that lend the dial an architectural quality entirely its own.
The cool brilliance of the white gold case flows seamlessly into the model's unmistakable integrated Bamboo bracelet, its cylindrical links creating one of the most distinctive silhouettes in vintage Audemars Piguet design. Finished with the applied AP monogram at 12 o'clock, this is a piece for the collector who seeks something beyond the expected.
Auction Provenance
