SIGNED AUDEMARS PIGUET, REF. 5403-341, CASE NO. D 43261, CIRCA 1980

Nicknamed the ‘Cobra’ by collectors, this Audemars Piguet reference 5403 is the dressier sibling of the Royal Oak Ref. 5402 and is powered by the same movement, Caliber 2121. It is superb and heavy thanks to the solid white gold construction of the flexible, integrated bracelet. The watch has a stunning silvered blue dial with diamond hour indexes and is one of the most complete and luxurious examples ever to be offered at auction. It is accompanied with its matching pair of white gold cufflinks and the original Certificate, sales tag, and box – a remarkable survival.

Perhaps the best surviving example of this ultra-rare model, the watch offers collectors a golden opportunity to obtain this undoubted prize among Audemars Piguet timepiece.
