Audemars Piguet Bamboo — 18k White Gold, Pavé Diamond Dial & Blue Sapphire Markers

An exceptionally rare high-jewellery interpretation of Audemars Piguet's iconic Bamboo, this example is crafted entirely in 18k white gold and distinguished by a spectacular fully pavé diamond-set dial accented with vivid blue sapphire hour markers. The sculptural 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 unusual diamond-and-sapphire configuration transforms the Bamboo from a refined dress watch into an extraordinary piece of wearable jewellery — representing one of the most decorative and collectible expressions of the collection.

Auction Provenance

Sotheby's has likewise catalogued the same white-gold diamond-and-sapphire Bamboo configuration, confirming the rarity and desirability of this specific variant at the highest levels of the auction market.
