Audemars Piguet 6005BA Diamond 1980s

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.
