The Royal Oak, the Royal Oak Offshore and the Code 11.59: the references clients ask us for, and what to settle before we start looking.
Tell us the Audemars Piguet you have in mind. Our team will handle the search.
Settle by bank transfer in sterling or another currency, or in crypto: how to buy an Audemars Piguet with Bitcoin.
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.
A collection name is a starting point. Reference, generation, material and configuration identify the watch more precisely.
Launched in 1972 and designed by Gérald Genta: the octagonal bezel, eight hexagonal screws and a bracelet built into the case. The line now runs from the time-only Selfwinding to the chronograph and the perpetual calendar, in steel, gold and ceramic.
Introduced in 1993 as a bigger, heavier Royal Oak, and still the family for chronographs, strong colours and unusual materials. The current chronograph is 43 mm, on straps that change without tools.
Launched in 2019. A round case with an octagonal middle section and a sapphire crystal curved in two directions, offered as time-only, chronograph and complicated references.
Earlier Royal Oaks, and the dress and complicated watches Audemars Piguet made before them. Each needs research specific to the reference and period, and more attention to originality.
Each page is a guide to the reference and how we source it, not a listing. Nothing here is stock.
A Royal Oak bought with Bitcoin is sourced and checked exactly like one paid by bank transfer. Tell us the reference, the dial, whether you want an unworn watch, and the coin you would like to settle in. We go to our network, set the individual watch out in writing and agree the price; the payment instructions then give the amount in Bitcoin, Ethereum, USDT or another major coin.
Send the brief by WhatsApp or the form: a Royal Oak, an Offshore or a Code 11.59, with the reference if you know it. We come back with what is realistic on availability and timing before you commit to anything, then itemise the proposed watch in writing. The crypto amount is issued only once you have agreed that watch and its price.
Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), USDT and other major coins and stablecoins are accepted. The payment instructions state the asset, network, crypto amount, exchange-rate basis and how long the quote is valid. If the window closes before you send, ask for updated instructions rather than sending the old amount.
The integrated bracelet decides a Royal Oak. Its condition, stretch and the links included matter more than on most watches, and missing links or over-polished bevels are expensive to put right, and sometimes cannot be. Ask whether the case has been polished, and confirm the papers, box, service history and whether the manufacturer warranty still runs. All of it is set out in writing for the individual watch before any transfer.
Confirm the recipient and the network through the contact channel you already have with us; a message from a new number or address is a reason to pause.
Once the payment is received, the watch is collected in London or sent by fully insured, signature-only delivery, as agreed for the watch and its destination, along with insurance and any import responsibility.
Paying in USDT: networks, fees and the quote windowYes. We do not go through the boutique allocation. We source the reference through our network, confirm what is realistic on availability and timing for your request, and set out the individual watch in writing before you commit.
The watch most people picture is the Selfwinding 41 mm in steel with a blue dial, today the 15510ST. The 16202ST Jumbo is thinner and closer to the 1972 original. The 26240ST adds a chronograph. If you are unsure, tell us how you will wear it and we narrow it down with you.
Yes. An earlier generation can be easier to find than the current one, and it is a good choice if the exact movement or production year does not matter to you. Condition and documentation vary more, so we set them out for the individual watch.
Tell us if a full set matters and we search on that basis. What accompanies the watch is confirmed for the individual piece and listed in writing before you decide.
Yes, whether it is a Royal Oak, an Offshore or a Code 11.59. Bank transfer in any major currency, or Bitcoin, Ethereum, USDT and other major coins and stablecoins. The price is agreed for the individual watch first; the payment instructions then state the asset, network, crypto amount, exchange-rate basis and how long the quote is valid. The checks on the watch, bracelet included, are the same whichever way you settle.
No. The full reference with its suffix, the bracelet's condition, stretch and links, and whether the case has been polished are set out in writing for the individual watch whichever way you settle. A blockchain transfer records the payment; it says nothing about the watch.
An exact reference or an idea is enough to start the conversation. We will take care of the search and discuss the options with you.
