BRAND HISTORY

A Quartz Icon in Full Gold — AP Ref. 6005BA with Diamonds

An 18k yellow gold masterpiece from Audemars Piguet’s “Quartz Line,” not officially a Royal Oak — but every bit as striking.

This Ref. 6005BA is a rare statement piece from the 1980s that blends the iconic design cues of AP’s Royal Oak era with a distinctly elegant twist. Weighing in at 146 grams of solid gold, this timepiece is a nugget of haute design and luxury.

It features a golden hobnail dial that shimmers under light, elegantly complemented by 11 factory-set diamond hour markers and a minimalist stick handset. The sapphire crystal, unsigned pusher crown, and polished bezel add to its clean, sophisticated aesthetic.

The integrated 18k yellow gold bracelet hugs the wrist seamlessly and fits up to 19 cm. Inside, the ultra-thin Audemars Piguet Caliber 2511 Quartz ensures flawless reliability—just like the razor-sharp case finishing that has been preserved to AP’s factory standards.

Whether you’re a collector of refined vintage luxury or simply appreciate gold and geometry in perfect balance, this AP 6005BA makes a bold yet elegant statement.

Audemars Piguet

In the Vallée de Joux — cradle of Swiss high horology — two young watchmakers joined forces in 1875. Their names were Jules-Louis Audemars and Edward-Auguste Piguet. From that moment on, Audemars Piguet has remained fiercely independent, family-owned, and uncompromising in its vision of what fine watchmaking should be.

Among the elite houses of horology, AP is the rebel artist. Innovative, daring, and forever rewriting the rules of design and engineering. In the 20th century, they were the first to create minute repeaters in wristwatch form. But it was in 1972 that Audemars Piguet changed watchmaking forever — with the birth of the Royal Oak.

A steel sports watch. With visible screws. An octagonal bezel. And a level of finishing usually reserved for gold. It was radical. Audacious. And in time, it became iconic.

Today, vintage watch collectors consider early Royal Oak references among the most desirable timepieces in the world. But the brand’s legacy runs deeper than one model. AP has always walked the fine line between artistry and technical prowess — whether through skeletonized perpetual calendars, ultra-thin tourbillons, or experimental case materials that push what a vintage watch can be.

To wear an Audemars Piguet is to wear confidence. It is for the collector who appreciates the avant-garde but demands heritage. Someone who seeks boldness, but never at the cost of substance. Someone who chooses a vintage watch not because it follows the rules — but because it rewrites them.

Audemars Piguet doesn’t just make watches. It creates icons that break molds — and then hand-finishes them to perfection.

Because tradition isn’t meant to be preserved under glass. It’s meant to evolve — beautifully, fearlessly, and with purpose.
