An Audemars Piguet Cobra in 18k white gold, featuring a mesmerising aventurine dial. Deep blue and flecked with shimmering minerals, the aventurine stone sparkles like stars scattered across a midnight sky. Brilliant-cut diamonds mark the hours, with a double diamond at 12 o’clock.

The 26.5mm case integrates seamlessly into a braided 18k white gold bracelet crafted by Roland-Gilbert Gaschen (signed “GRG” on the clasp), its serpentine texture reminiscent of the scales and fluid glide of a “Cobra”. Automatic. Circa 1970s.
