Audemars Piguet Bamboo: Grace of Lightness
LA BAMBOO,
Grace of Lightness
Bamboo, the natural symbol of lightness and flexibility, gives a symbolic expression to the lifestyle of tropical paradises.
The designers at Audemars Piguet came up with the concept for the Bamboo to recreate this grace with the means of the goldsmith's art.
Artfully intertwined golden canes are the characteristic of this creation. They form the supple bracelet, whose rhythm is picked up by the watch case and brought to perfection.
The harmony that a bamboo radiates, its silky shine, gives an idea of the painstaking manual work that was required to achieve this perfection of grace.
