Among the most sculptural designs to emerge from Audemars Piguet in the 1970s, the so-called Cobra models occupy a special nichepieces defined by their fluid, hand-finished gold bracelets and organic, scale-like texture that wraps seamlessly around the wrist. This reference 5403, executed entirely in 18k yellow gold, represents the design at its most luxurious and most evocative: elegant, unconventional, and unmistakably of its era.
What sets this example apart is the presence of the red Khanjar emblem of Oman, printed just above 6 oclock. Watches bearing this insignia were produced in extremely limited quantities for the Sultanate and have become some of the most sought-after Middle Eastern commissions across all brands. Against the Champagne dialalready elevated with diamond hour markersthe emblem adds both historical intrigue and a striking visual contrast.
The watch remains in excellent original condition, with the textured gold bracelet retaining its crisp, sculpted form and the dial showing clean, untouched surfaces. The diamond markers are bright and evenly set, the hands remain original. Its bracelet drapes beautifully, sitting close to the wrist in that unmistakable Cobra stylemore jewelry than timepiece, yet fully emblematic of Audemars Piguets creativity in the decades before the Royal Oak reshaped the brand.
Elegant, rare, and deeply collectible, this is a standout example of an already unusual AP referencemade even more special by its Omani provenance.
