Audemars Piguet Hobnail 5382BA

Audemars Piguet Automatic 5382BA Hobnail Texture Integrated Bracelet 18k YG

Famed for their aggressively avant-garde take on design and aesthetics, Audemars Piguet has long been known to blend aspects of their history with their own take on horology. As a result, timepieces that feature both period-defining designs and aspects of AP’s historical DNA can be produced, just like this example. Featuring a 34mm round 18kt yellow gold case with an intricately engraved hobnail Clous de Paris texture across its dial, bezel, and 18kt yellow gold brick bracelet made by Gilbert Goschen, this timepiece blends AP’s love of opulence with their desire to celebrate their unique designs. Powered by the ultra-thin automatic cal. 2121 movement, this timepiece ensures that AP’s clientele could enjoy AP’s high level of craftsmanship without having to compromise on the fit and finish of the watch. With its beautifully intricate construction and opulent sense of design, this example’s unique hobnail textured construction and display combine to create a timepiece with a unique aesthetic that jumps off the wrist and packs a serious punch of style.
