In short: Send us photos of your Audemars Piguet, the bracelet, the clasp and any papers, or arrange to bring it to Spyrou Merkouri 4, Pangrati, Athens. Our master watchmaker checks the case, bracelet and movement in person, we explain a market-referenced offer, and you are paid immediately if you accept. The valuation is free.
If you own an Audemars Piguet, you almost certainly own a Royal Oak — and that one fact shapes how it should be sold. AP’s secondary market is built overwhelmingly around a single design, the details that move its value are specific, and one of them is easy to overlook until it costs you. This page explains what your AP is worth, the condition factor that matters most on a Royal Oak, and how a sale works with us in Athens.
What decides the value of an Audemars Piguet?
- The Royal Oak is the market. The “Jumbo” 15202, the 15400/15500 41mm, the 34mm and 37mm, and the Royal Oak Offshore are where demand and liquidity concentrate. Reference, dial colour and size all move the number, and the most sought-after configurations trade strongly.
- Bracelet condition is decisive — and this is the one people miss. The Royal Oak’s integrated bracelet is part of the case design; it is not a strap you swap. Stretch, sag and worn links cut value materially, and it is expensive to put right. On any Royal Oak, the bracelet is assessed as carefully as the case.
- Metal and finish. Steel is the most liquid; precious-metal and two-tone Royal Oaks are valued on a blend of gold content and desirability, and special finishes like frosted gold or full ceramic carry their own premiums.
- Beyond the Royal Oak. The Royal Oak Offshore has its own strong following; Code 11.59, Millenary and the classic lines are more thinly traded and valued case by case.
Box, papers and the AP folio complete a full set and help; an Extract confirming the watch’s details adds buyer confidence where available.
Where should I sell my Royal Oak: specialist, marketplace or pawn shop?
A Royal Oak is exactly the kind of watch a marketplace prices badly in both directions — and exactly the kind a pawn shop undervalues completely, paying for metal rather than the design. Selling publicly also means authenticating a five-figure watch to a stranger, shipping it, and carrying the fraud risk. A specialist assesses the case, the bracelet and the movement in person, values it on what it actually is, carries the risk, and pays immediately — with the reasoning shown to you.
We buy Audemars Piguet outright and also trade against pieces in our collection.

Frequently asked questions
My Royal Oak’s bracelet has some stretch — can I still sell it?
Yes. Bracelet wear affects the price rather than our interest; we assess it honestly and price accordingly. It is simply the single biggest condition factor on a Royal Oak, which is why we look at it closely.
Do I need box and papers for an AP?
They add value and speed the sale, but a genuine, correctly authenticated watch sells on its own. Their absence is reflected in the price, not a barrier.
Do you buy the Royal Oak Offshore and precious-metal models too?
Yes — Offshore, two-tone and gold Royal Oaks included. Each is valued on its reference, condition and, for precious metal, the metal itself.
Do you service Audemars Piguet?
Yes, with a written two-year warranty and original parts only. We are an independent specialist, not an authorised AP service centre; a watch under factory warranty belongs with the official network first.
