A precise and quietly distinctive vintage Rado, this Apis is defined by its sharp geometry and disciplined restraint. The white dial sits within a faceted gold tone case that feels deliberate and architectural, each edge catching light in a controlled, almost sculptural way. Slim baton markers and fine gold tone hands keep the dial clean and composed, allowing the proportions to do the work rather than ornament.

Paired with a black leather strap, the piece takes on a more tailored, graphic presence. The contrast strengthens the silhouette, giving the watch a subtle edge while still wearing like jewellery on the wrist. It is minimal without being plain, refined without softness, a design that leans into structure rather than decoration. A considered, design led vintage Rado that feels quietly intentional.

Swiss made.

Gilded Hour Assurance

All watches are curated second hand timepieces, in confirmed working condition and sold as is. Long term accuracy cannot be guaranteed, but each watch is tested for at least 72 hours prior to dispatch.

All pieces leave our studio in running condition. Very rarely, a vintage movement may be affected during transit due to vibration or rough freight handling. This is an inherent characteristic of vintage timepieces and is outside our direct control.

Expect imperfections as description is made as accurate as possible but is not always 100% accurate. Be sure to check all photos.

We do not generally accept returns, or cancellations. But we will always strive to help you on a case by case basis. For more information, please head to our policy page.
