Audemars Piguet Bamboo — 18k Yellow Gold, Pavé Diamond Dial & Ruby Hour Markers
Audemars Piguet Bamboo — 18k Yellow Gold, Pavé Diamond Dial & Ruby Hour Markers
Price varies by material and stone selection.
An exceptionally rare high-jewellery interpretation of Audemars Piguet's iconic Bamboo, this example is crafted entirely in 18k yellow gold and distinguished by a spectacular fully pavé diamond-set dial accented with vivid ruby hour markers. The warm luster of the yellow 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 diamond-and-ruby 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. The deep red of the ruby markers against the pavé diamond field and yellow gold case creates a richness that the white gold variant simply cannot replicate.
Auction Provenance
Christie's and Sotheby's have both catalogued the diamond-and-gemstone Bamboo configuration, confirming the rarity and desirability of these high-jewellery variants at the highest levels of the auction market.
