A distinctive example of Audemars Piguet’s bold and highly individualistic design language of the 1970s, the present Hexagonal wristwatch combines architectural geometry with an opulent use of gold. The 18K yellow gold case is defined by its unusual hexagonal form, softened by subtly rounded contours and enhanced by a richly textured, rope-like decoration surrounding the bezel. The black dial provides a striking contrast to the warm tone of the gold, featuring applied gilt Audemars Piguet initials and elegant gold hands, while the minimalist layout emphasizes the sculptural character of the case. Particularly noteworthy is the original bracelet, formed by a black leather strap enhanced with a series of finely crafted 18K yellow gold inserts and matching twisted-rope motifs, creating a harmonious continuation of the case design. The reverse reveals the characteristic solid-gold caseback, signed and numbered, while the manually wound calibre 2430 provides the mechanical heart of this refined creation. With its unconventional silhouette, precious materials and exuberant detailing, this watch perfectly embodies the experimental spirit and jewellery-inspired aesthetics that distinguished Audemars Piguet during the 1970s.
