Pre-owned Audemars Piguet Watches

About Audemars Piguet Watches

Founded in 1875, Audemars Piguet has become one of the biggest names in the horology world. Created by two childhood friends in the picturesque village of Le Brassus, Switzerland, the AP watch has been a continued journey of innovation and beauty. Audemars Piguet watches continue to stand for quality and beauty, and are still increasing in popularity today. Implementing fashion-forward designs and colours has enabled the Audemars Piguet Swiss watches brand to become a dominating figure within the watchmaking industry. Their popularity has only been furthered by celebrities such as Jay-Z, Lebron James, and Chris Hemsworth sporting the outstanding design of AP watches.

Buying pre-owned

With such stunning models available, it can often be a challenge to decide on which timepiece to add to your collection first. Sometimes, this decision can be led by budget, which is when buying pre-owned Audemars Piguet watches can be the ideal solution to start or add to a collection. The beauty of purchasing a pre-owned watch is that the price is significantly reduced, but your watch will still be vetted, verified, and accompanied by all of the relevant paperwork and documentation. When you buy used Audemars Piguet watches, owning your favourite timepiece is more achievable and still be an outstanding investment.

For Him and Her

Whether you are buying a new or used Audemars Piguet watch, you will no doubt find a model that is perfectly designed to sit either on the wrist of a man or a woman. However, the brand has developed a fantastic way of using the most popular materials and colourways but using them in different and subtle ways to produce unisex watches too.

For example, Celebrity fans such as Kylie Jenner, have helped shine a spotlight on the fashion forward Audemars Piguet ladies’ watches, and in particular the Royal Oak model. This sleek model boasts a stunning pairing of pink gold alongside stainless steel, to produce a stunning finish that is an Audemars Piguet women love. However, this Audemars Piguet watch is also favoured by male celebrities like Chris Hemsworth, who is frequently seen sporting the impressive Royal Oak model in pink gold, with a bold Blue Grande Tapisserie Dial making it the perfect Audemars Piguet mens watch too. It all comes down to the materials and colours used in the design of the model.

Material & Colours

Audemars Piguet have become experts at creating impactful and beautiful material and colour combinations, which appeal to both sexes. Amongst some of the most popular combinations is the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak black baton, which has an incredibly striking black rubber wrist strap, paired with a stunning rose gold dial and bezel. Another very popular model is the Audemars Piguet Chronograph, which has a solid steel wrist strap but has an array of colour options available for the dial of the piece, such as black, blue, silver, or brown.

Accessories

No matter what material or colour your AP watch strap is, you can change its look by investing in an additional strap. One of the most impressive elements of the Audemars Piguet design process is that they have carefully considered the wrist strap options which are available, as these elements often help the collector to decide which look and style they would like to opt for. Options such as the Royal Oak in rose gold with a leather strap rather than a stainless-steel strap, allow the brand to open up a wider variety of choice for the collector; removing the limitations of only offering stainless steel straps with limited colour combinations, allows AP to further showcase their design skills.

Price

No matter what watch strap you choose, AP watches keep their value due to the innovative timepiece design. The brand is considered as one of the “Big 3” manufacturers of luxury watches in the world, so your timepiece is an investment for the future, which is why collectors are so keen to own as many models within the ranges as possible. With the most expensive Audemars Piguet watch totalling around £750,000 for the Royal Oak Complication model, it’s not difficult to see that why this level style and design can demand such a high price tag. However, there are also models, such as the stainless-steel Royal Oak, which can be purchased pre-owned for roughly £29,000.

Vintage

Like many luxury watch brands, Audemars Piguet has fans and collectors who eagerly seek out the more vintage models to add to a collection. Models such as the 2006 Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar watch are seeing an increase in popularity, as they encompass the progression of the design and innovation from the brand up to the current day, while still holding the added beauty that only vintage models provide.
