About Audemars Piguet Watches

A short history of Audemars Piguet

Audemars Piguet has been in Le Brassus since 1875 and, like Patek Philippe, has never left family control. In 1972 it took an enormous risk by launching a stainless-steel sports watch priced above contemporary gold dress watches: Gerald Genta’s Royal Oak, with its octagonal bezel, exposed screws, integrated bracelet and tapisserie dial. That gamble created the luxury sports watch category outright.

Which Audemars Piguet model should you buy?

The Royal Oak remains the core of the collection, available in sizes from 34mm to 41mm and in configurations from time-and-date to perpetual calendar. The Royal Oak Offshore is larger, more rugged and more overtly sporting. Code 11.59 offers a contemporary round case for buyers who want the finishing without the octagonal signature, while the Millenary’s oval case and off-center dial appeal to collectors seeking something genuinely unusual.

Buying Audemars Piguet pre-owned

Royal Oak demand has consistently outstripped supply, and steel references in particular have proven exceptionally resilient on the secondary market. The hand-finishing — the tapisserie dial, the mirror-polished bevels along the bracelet links — is difficult to appreciate in photographs and largely explains the price. Buy the best-condition example you can, because refinishing an integrated bracelet correctly is expensive and rarely invisible.

What to check before you buy

• Inspect the bracelet bevels closely; poor refinishing is the most common flaw on pre-owned Royal Oaks.
• Check the tapisserie dial pattern for consistency and the absence of moisture marks.
• Confirm bracelet stretch is minimal — replacement links are costly and hard to source.
• Verify the reference and case number correspond to the stated production year.

If anything about a listing is unclear, speak to a specialist before you commit — we would rather answer questions than process a return. You can also read how we authenticate every watch we sell, or browse the full index of watches in stock.
