Now available, an extraordinary Audemars Piguet Bamboo in white gold, featuring what is quite possibly a unique factory configuration: a pavé diamond-set central dial framed by a glossy onyx surround.

The Bamboo collection is already among Audemars Piguet’s most intriguing designs of the late 20th century, defined by its fluid bracelet and softly sculpted case with “bamboo joint” accents. But this example stands apart entirely. To our knowledge, no other white-gold Bamboo has surfaced with this exact onyx-and-pavé arrangement - the deep, mirror-black onyx providing a dramatic architectural frame around the diamond centre, creating a striking interplay of light and depth seldom seen in the reference. It is a design that balances jewellery-level opulence with a minimalist, almost sculptural clarity.

Delicate yet bold, unusual yet unmistakably Audemars Piguet, this piece embodies the maison’s ability to innovate in form while working with precious materials at the highest level. For collectors of rare-dial Bamboos, this may sit at the very top of the hierarchy. Unlike many examples produced with quartz movements, this particular watch houses a mechanical, hand-wound calibre - a detail that further enhances its desirability and speaks to AP’s commitment to traditional watchmaking even within its most decorative creations. The presence of the later-generation bracelet with screw-secured removable links only adds to its practicality and long-term appeal.

Offered in exceptional overall condition, this is a rare chance to acquire one of Audemars Piguet’s most captivating designs outside of the Royal Oak lineage. The watch is available for viewing in London and purchase worldwide. Please get in touch for further information.
