圖錄文章
An eclectic era, the seventies never cease to amaze where beautiful, stand out designs populate the decade. From the Patek Philippe Nautilus, the Vacheron Constantin 222 and the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak that dominates the modern taste of sports luxury watches, to the extravagant designs like the Piaget Polo, Rolex King Midas all with one thing in common, integrated bracelets. And perhaps for a few of those icons the household name Gerald Genta, including the present Audemars Piguet ‘Cobra’.

Coined with the venomous nickname by collectors with its flashy design, the Audemars Piguet ref. 5403 was introduced in 1971, a sibling of the Royal Oak ref. 5402 that transformed into a scale-like appearance. Flawlessly comfortable, Genta took integrated bracelet to the next level. Designed with seamlessness and single entity in mind, Genta described it as “magnificent and perfect integration”. The bracelet is composed of ten, very thick polish-braided links gradually widened to embrace the dial.

The present ‘Cobra’ in white gold features an iconic sunburst blue dial bedazzled with diamond-indexes. Preserved in stunning condition, this beauty was born in 1979 confirmed by the Audemars Piguet Extract from the Archives. Extremely attractive and fitting for those who welcomes attention on the wrist, this rare timepiece would be an excellent choice.

Audemars Piguet

Swiss | 1881
A specialist in the manufacture of complications since it was established in 1881, Audemars Piguet never ceases to impress with a rich history of creating bold, even audacious, timepieces underpinned by traditional watchmaking at its finest. This Le Brassus-based Swiss manufacturer is one of only two major manufacturers still owned by the founding family. Since its earliest days, AP is considered a leader in the field of minute repeaters and grande complication pocket and wristwatches. The brand is devoted to preserving the history of watchmaking in the Vallée de Joux, showcased at their superb museum in Le Brassus.
Today, the brand is best known for its Royal Oak models, a revolutionary luxury sports watch launched in 1972. Other key models include early minute repeating wristwatches, vintage chronograph wristwatches, such as the oversized reference 5020, perpetual calendar watches and the Royal Oak Offshore, first introduced in 1993.
