Ref: 4274
Among the Ref. 4274 "Zebra" models, this particular piece, combining yellow gold and stainless steel, is a rare example symbolizing the "fusion of different materials" pursued by Audemars Piguet in the 1970s.
Aesthetics of Contrast: Gleaming 18K yellow gold and hard, cool-shining stainless steel parts are alternately arranged. This "zebra" (striped) pattern continues precisely from the case to the end of the bracelet, showcasing the excellent joining techniques of craftsmen at the time.
Form of the Integrated Bracelet: The watch body and bracelet are not separate but constructed as a single sculptural work. The supple fit that hugs the wrist allows one to feel the dignity of a luxury watch.
Ultimate Minimalism: The dial has no hour markers, incorporating the stripe pattern extending from the case directly into the design. With only the brand logo at 12 o'clock, its appearance pushes the boundaries of beauty as an "ornament" beyond a mere time-telling device.
