HOW TO SELL AUDEMARS PIGUET WATCHES
The most important step in selling a Audemars Piguet watch is to find a trusted and professional buyer in your area. There are several questions you may want to ask, such as how long they were in the business, what model types do they buy, and how much is a Audemars watch worth on the market.
Buyers of New York pride ourselves on the ability to evaluate and appraise watches from $500 to $125,000. We offer a professional and qualified setting with privacy and security, unlike public jewelry stores where privacy is usually not observed.
If you are selling by mail, we offer insurance up to $25,000 with tracking by FedEx. Our watch buyers can answer your every question about the selling process immediately, with no hassle and no obligation to sell.
AUDEMARS PIGUET MODELS WE BUY:
How much is my Audemars Piguet worth in New York City?
Audemars Piguet holds its value exceptionally well on the secondary market, but what your specific watch is worth depends on the model, reference number, case material, condition, and whether you have the original box and papers. The Royal Oak and Royal Oak Offshore are among the most sought-after luxury sports watches in the world and frequently sell above retail, particularly in stainless steel. Complicated pieces like the Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar or Tourbillon carry significant premiums. At Buyers of New York, we price every AP against live secondary market data and recent auction results so your offer reflects what the watch is actually worth today.
What Audemars Piguet models do you buy?
We buy all Audemars Piguet collections including the Royal Oak, Royal Oak Offshore, Royal Oak Concept, Millenary, Code 11.59, Jules Audemars, and vintage references. Whether you have an entry-level three-hand Royal Oak or a highly complicated limited edition piece, our buyers have the expertise to evaluate it accurately. We also purchase AP ladies' watches, which are often undervalued elsewhere but carry real market demand.
Does box and papers matter when selling an Audemars Piguet?
Yes, especially on high-demand references. A complete set — original AP box, inner box, certificate, warranty card, and any service documentation — can meaningfully increase the value of your offer, sometimes by thousands of dollars on desirable Royal Oak references. That said, we buy Audemars Piguet watches without box and papers regularly. Our evaluation is based on the watch itself, and you'll still receive a strong, competitive offer even without full documentation.
How do you evaluate an Audemars Piguet watch?
Our buyers assess the specific reference and sub-reference, production year, case metal (stainless steel, yellow gold, white gold, rose gold, titanium, or ceramic), dial condition and originality, bracelet or strap wear, movement condition, service history, box and papers, and current secondary market pricing across major watch platforms and auction houses. Stainless steel Royal Oak references in particular have seen sustained strong demand and we price them accordingly.
Will you buy an Audemars Piguet that needs servicing?
Yes. We buy AP watches in all conditions including pieces that are running slow, stopped, or overdue for a service. Audemars Piguet movements are exceptionally well-engineered and hold their value regardless of service status. We factor in any estimated service costs transparently when making our offer — we won't use it as an excuse to undercut you on a watch that's clearly worth serious money.
How does the selling process work?
Walk into our Diamond District office at 30 W 47th Street, Suite 806 in Midtown Manhattan. No appointment needed. One of our expert watch buyers will examine your Audemars Piguet in front of you, walk you through exactly how they're arriving at a value, and present a cash offer on the spot. If you accept, you leave with cash in hand the same day. No fees, no waiting, no pressure.
Is it better to sell my AP privately or to a buyer like you?
Private sales on platforms like Chrono24 can sometimes yield slightly higher gross numbers, but they come with real risks and costs — listing fees, shipping insurance on a five-figure watch, potential fraud, chargebacks, and weeks or months of waiting with no guarantee of a sale. Auction houses charge seller commissions that can run 10–15% or more. Selling to Buyers of New York means a fair offer based on real market data, zero fees, zero risk, and same-day cash. For most sellers the certainty and convenience is well worth it.
Do you buy vintage Audemars Piguet watches?
Absolutely, and vintage AP is an area we know well. Early Royal Oak references from the 1970s and 1980s, vintage Jules Audemars complications, and rare limited production pieces can carry substantial collector premiums. If you have an older AP and aren't sure what you have or what it's worth, bring it in — our buyers can identify the reference, verify authenticity, and give you an accurate market-based offer.
What if my Audemars Piguet has aftermarket modifications?
Aftermarket dials, bezels, bracelets, or diamond settings can affect value, sometimes significantly. AP collectors and the secondary market generally prefer original, unmodified examples. We'll evaluate your watch honestly and let you know exactly how any modifications impact the offer. In some cases aftermarket diamond settings add perceived value to certain buyers; in others they reduce it. We'll give you a straight answer either way.
Why sell my Audemars Piguet at Buyers of New York instead of a pawn shop?
Pawn shops are generalists — they deal in everything from electronics to power tools. Audemars Piguet is one of the most nuanced and reference-sensitive brands in the luxury watch market. A pawn shop buyer may not know the difference between a first-generation Royal Oak 5402 and a modern 15202, or understand why a specific dial variation commands a premium. At Buyers of New York, luxury watches are a core specialty. Our buyers follow the AP market closely, understand what drives value on individual references, and will make sure you're compensated fairly for what you actually have.
