The Reference 14579BC
The Audemars Piguet “Cobra” reference 14579BC is a striking and very rare expression of the Maison's daring design language from the 1980s and 90s 14579BC, characterized by its fluid integrated bracelet and elegant, sculptural form. While the model was a discreet and niche creation during its original era, it has become highly coveted among today’s collectors, as the current market increasingly embraces bold, jewelry-inspired wristwatches from the period. Crafted in 18k white gold, the mid-size case wears exceptionally well thanks to its refined proportions and slim profile, made possible by the ultra-thin movement within. The present example is particularly attractive, featuring a rich dark blue dial accented by diamond hour markers, a sophisticated and glamorous configuration that perfectly captures the effortless chic and modern appeal that make the “Cobra” so sought-after today.
