AUDEMARS PIGUET VINTAGE “ZEBRA” – Ref. 4247SA-2 – Manual Wind – 18k Yellow Gold & Steel – 1980 – Box — Rare

We are delighted to present this striking and highly collectible AUDEMARS PIGUET Vintage “Zebra” Ref. 4247SA-2, a rare and bold creation from 1980, exemplifying the daring design language of Audemars Piguet during the late 1970s and early 1980s.

Nicknamed the “Zebra” for its distinctive two-tone yellow gold and steel construction, this reference features a beautifully integrated bracelet alternating between polished steel and rich 18k yellow gold links — a design that is both unconventional and unmistakably Audemars Piguet.

The case design reflects the maison’s avant-garde approach of the era, with strong geometric lines and a confident wrist presence, while remaining elegant and refined. Powering the watch is a high-grade and ultra flat manual-winding Audemars Piguet caliber 2080, emphasizing traditional watchmaking excellence within a boldly modern aesthetic.

This example is further enhanced by the presence of its original box, a rare and valuable addition for a vintage Audemars Piguet of this period.
