1970s Audemars Piguet Ultra Thin Automatic 18k White Gold 5279

SOLD OUT

An extremely rare and stunning 1970s Audemars Piguet Ultra Thin "Automatic" in 18k white gold. This example comes with a black dial and diamonds-markers at 12,3,6 and 9. The watch is in superb condition, showing only light signs of wear or minor scratches, which are to be expected for a piece of its age.

The Audemars Piguet Automatic 18k White Gold 5279 from the 1970s is a fine example of the understated elegance and craftsmanship that defined the brand during this era. Produced in a period when luxury watchmakers were experimenting with slim automatic movements and refined case designs, the 5279 embodies a minimalist aesthetic paired with technical sophistication. Its 18k white gold case offers a discreet yet opulent presence on the wrist, while the automatic movement reflects the precision and innovation Audemars Piguet is known for. Unlike the bold Royal Oak introduced in 1972, the 5279 leans into timeless dress watch styling, appealing to collectors who appreciate quiet luxury and the artistry of classic Swiss watchmaking.
