Diamond String Dial • 1.8ct Diamond Bezel • Woven Gold Bracelet • Circa 1970s

A captivating example of Audemars Piguet’s high-jewellery watchmaking, this rare Ellipse from the 1970s beautifully combines sculptural gold craftsmanship with exceptional gem-setting. Crafted in 18ct yellow gold, the watch is distinguished by its elegant elliptical case and an extraordinary hand-woven bracelet that drapes across the wrist with remarkable fluidity and comfort.

The true highlight is its mesmerizing “Black Raindrop” dial, where delicate strings of diamonds appear to cascade across a deep black background, creating a striking visual effect reminiscent of falling rain illuminated by light. Framed by an approximately 1.8-carat diamond-set bezel, the dial offers a dramatic contrast between brilliance and shadow, making the watch instantly recognizable and undeniably elegant.

Powering the piece is the ultra-thin manual-winding Audemars Piguet Calibre 2003/1, one of the finest movements of its era, reflecting the manufacture’s dedication to both technical excellence and refined aesthetics.
