1980s Audemars Piguet Cord'Or Lady-Rope 18k Yellow Gold 6050BA

An exceptionally rare expression of Audemars Piguet’s jewelry watchmaking, this 1980s "Cord’Or" aka Lady-Rope reference 6050BA transforms 18k yellow gold into a remarkably sculptural design. The softly rounded rectangular case is framed by distinctive twisted-rope detailing, a motif carried seamlessly through the integrated bracelet, where satin-finished gold links are intricately bound by polished rope-like accents. At its center, a restrained champagne dial provides an elegant counterpoint, with delicate applied markers and slender gold hands allowing the extraordinary construction of the bracelet and case to take precedence. More jewel than conventional wristwatch, the Cord’Or captures the bold sophistication of 1980s Audemars Piguet design while showcasing the manufacture’s exceptional command of precious-metal craftsmanship. Rarely encountered today, the Ref. 6050BA is a wonderfully unconventional and highly collectible example from one of the most creative periods in the maison’s history.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.
