Estimate: € 14.000 –⁠ 28.000

An exceptionally rare and luxurious Audemars Piguet reference 14973BC, this white gold bracelet watch embodies the brand’s refined approach to gem-setting and opulence during the late 20th century. The case and integrated bracelet are preserved in exceptional condition, showcasing impressive craftsmanship and a level of finish rarely matched. The dial is fully pavé-set with brilliant-cut diamonds, accented by eleven radiant emerald markers—an uncommon and visually arresting combination. Framing the dial, the bezel alternates between brilliant-cut and emerald-cut diamonds, demonstrating the maison’s mastery in balancing light, contrast, and geometry. Often grouped with other ultra-luxurious AP bracelet watches of the era—like the 6038 or 77184 series—this model belongs to a niche lineage of jewelry-oriented timepieces made in extremely limited numbers, typically reserved for the brand’s most elite clientele. This example stands out not only for its dazzling gem-setting and incredible preservation, but also for the completeness of its set: it comes with the original Audemars Piguet green leather folio, outer box, and warranty certificate.
