How to buy an Audemars Piguet today
Audemars Piguet sells through its own boutiques and AP Houses, and the steel Royal Oak references are usually allocated to existing clients rather than sold over the counter. Ask for a 15510ST or a 16202ST as a new client and you are likely to hear there is no list to join, or a list with no date on it.
We work outside that queue. Tell us the reference, the dial, and whether you want an unworn watch or are happy with one that has been worn. We go to our network and come back with what is realistic before you commit. The individual watch is then described in writing: condition, the date on the papers, and what comes with it.
Most of the requests we see are for the Royal Oak in steel: the Selfwinding, the chronograph and the perpetual calendar. The Offshore and the Code 11.59 come up less often and are usually quicker to find.
