Audemars Piguet Bamboo — 18k White Gold, Star-Set Pavé Diamond Dial
Audemars Piguet Bamboo — 18k White Gold, Star-Set Pavé Diamond Dial
Price varies by material and stone selection.
Among the most technically refined of the Bamboo jewellery variants, this 18k white gold example features a fully pavé diamond dial executed in the star-set technique — each stone individually isolated within its own star-shaped setting to maximize light return and create an unbroken, luminous surface. The result is a dial that appears to glow from within, the diamonds catching light from every angle with exceptional intensity.
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 all-diamond star-set configuration represents the apex of the Bamboo as a pure jewellery timepiece.
Auction Provenance
Christie's and Sotheby's have both catalogued high-jewellery Bamboo configurations, confirming the rarity and desirability of these diamond-set variants at the highest levels of the auction market.
