Potion of Defense sets the armor class of the imbiber to 0. After that, bonuses from dexterity and items that grant an AC bonus or penalty are applied. Specifically, this conflicts with the effect of most body armor (including robes) and bracers and the one with the lowest value will win. Thus this has the same effect on AC as wearing Full Plate Armor +1.
The effect lasts 10 turns, which corresponds to 10 minutes in real-life.
