There’s nothing quite like having an AP on your wrist to communicate style and status.

The history of Audemars Piguet

For more than 140 years, Audemars Piguet have produced truly extraordinary timepieces that are as beautiful as they are complicated.

And few watches have aged as gracefully as the Audemars Piguet’s Royal Oak.

With it’s edgy octagonal bezel, tapisserie dial and integrated bracelet, the Royal Oak is a contemporary, state of the art and much-desired timepiece.

Hard to believe, then that AP’s first Royal Oak Collection was unveiled in1972.

The Swiss watchmaker has kept its finger on the pulse for more than 40 years of Royal Oak, updating the collection with watches that remain true to the aesthetics of the original concept but continue to push watch-making boundaries.

Audemars Piguet is consistently ranked as one of the best luxury watch manufacturers in the world. And when you look at AP’s Royal Oak series it’s easy to understand why.

For a dress watch, you can’t go past APs Royal Oak for it’s glamour and sophistication.

While the Royal Oak Offshore is a statement watch. Big and bold conveying prosperity and power.

No wonder getting your hands on one is not easy. Long waiting lists are common for new stock from authorised AP dealers.

But Watch Seller carries a range of second-hand Audemars Piguet Royal Oak and Royal Oak Offshore watches for sale through our Sydney showroom, some new with stickers.

All our watches are in pristine condition. Our used AP Royal Oak Offshore watches include gold, forged carbon and stainless steel models.

One of the most sought after is the head-turning Audemars Piguet 18K Rose Gold Royal Oak Offshore. A substantial 44mm, this watch is a chronograph and comes on a rubber clad strap with either 18k rose gold Audemars Piguet deployment clasp or 18k rose gold Audemars Piguet Tang Buckle.

But if you’re looking for an AP on bracelet, you can’t go past the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Chronograph Panda. At 42mm, this stainless steel classic works for any occasion. The sought after Panda Dial (so named because of the black chronograph “eyes” on the white dial) makes this watch hard to beat.

For a more rugged look, try our pre-owned Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Forged Carbon Chrono. The black dial (with just a flash of red on the hands) is teamed with an Audemars Piguet rubber strap with Audemars Piguet stainless steel Tang Buckle to complete the ultimate black on black look.

If you’re after a Audemars Piguet Royal Oak price, give us a call or visit our Sydney showroom by appointment. Naturally, the price varies for each watch depending on the model of the watch, it’s age and availability.

So what makes an AP so special? Watch experts say its the detail the really sets these watches apart.

By pushing design, craftsmanship and engineering to the limit, Audemars have remained on the cutting edge of luxury watches for more than a century.

The perfect example is the precision required of the screw heads in the bezel. The slit in every screw head tightened to completion must align perfectly so that each forms part of a concentric circle around the watch dial.

And the case finish is an immaculate blend of both brushed and polished metal.

AP was founded in 1875 by Jules-Louis Audemars and Edward-Auguste Piguet and has been producing watches ever since. Each collection superior to the last. The AP brand has been forging a path through watchmaking history with a string of innovative firsts – including the first skeleton watch and the world’s thinnest watch.

An Audemars Piguet on your wrist will never go out of style – even vintage models are highly sought after – which makes them a smart investment
