Audemars Piguet Classique White Gold Hobnail 4029
Audemars Piguet Ref. 4029 – White Gold Hobnail Elegance with Original Accessories, c. Late 1970s
A masterclass in understated luxury, this Audemars Piguet Ref. 4029 embodies timeless design and refined detail. Crafted from solid 18K white gold, the 34mm x 36mm case is adorned with an intricate hobnail (clous de Paris) pattern—echoed beautifully on the dial for a harmonious and textural aesthetic. This architectural detailing evokes the golden era of haute horlogerie, where craftsmanship and restraint walked hand in hand.
Adding to its rarity, this example features original dauphine hands—less commonly seen on this reference, which more often appears with baton hands—offering an added touch of angular elegance and vintage distinction. Inside beats a finely finished manual-winding movement, true to the spirit of traditional watchmaking.
Completing the ensemble is its original 18K white gold Audemars Piguet buckle, engraved with the AP signature, paired with the original AP-signed alligator strap. Also included are its original Audemars Piguet tag and price tag—remarkable ephemera that reflect a retail value equivalent to over $17,000 SGD today.
With its rare configuration, untouched details, and complete original set, this Ref. 4029 is a remarkable opportunity for collectors seeking quiet opulence from one of horology’s Holy Trinity.
