Now available, an extraordinary Audemars Piguet Bamboo in white gold, featuring what is quite possibly a unique factory configuration of glossy onyx and pavé-set diamonds.

As appreciation for Audemars Piguet's Bamboo collection continues to grow, the very finest examples have become extraordinarily difficult to source. Distinctive, elegant and unmistakably of its era, the Bamboo represents one of the manufacture's most imaginative departures from traditional watch design, yet examples like this sit in an entirely different league. To the very best of our knowledge, we have never encountered another white gold Bamboo configured quite like this, and it is entirely possible that this is a unique factory execution.

The contrast between the mirror-black onyx surround and the glittering pavé diamond centre creates one of the most captivating dials we have ever seen on an Audemars Piguet. Beautifully restrained despite its extravagance, it possesses an elegance that photographs simply cannot do justice. Unlike the vast majority of gem-set Bamboos, this example is powered by a mechanical hand-wound movement rather than quartz, a detail that elevates it still further in the eyes of collectors. Combined with its white gold case and beautifully textured Bamboo bracelet, we genuinely believe this represents one of the finest Bamboo configurations ever produced.

Just as importantly, the watch presents in exceptional overall condition throughout, with beautifully crisp case lines, sharp hallmarks and an outstanding bracelet retaining excellent definition. A watch that has clearly led an incredibly sheltered life, it is every bit as impressive in the hand as it is on paper. A truly remarkable Audemars Piguet, and without question one of the most special Bamboos we have ever had the pleasure of offering for sale. The watch is available for viewing in London and purchase worldwide. Please get in touch for further information.
