Audemars Piguet is among the world’s most revered watch brands and is considered part of Switzerland’s ‘Holy Trinity’. Established in 1875 by Jules Audermars and Edward Piguet, the brand remains independent to this day. The model range is dominated by the Royal Oak which was designed by Gerald Genta and launched in 1972. Since then, its distinctive angular shape and impeccable finishing have helped it become one the most sought-after watches on the planet. The Royal Oak is one of Watch Collecting’s best-selling Audemars Piguet models and we have a wide range available, with new examples going live on a regular basis. Our platform offers a diverse array of Royal Oak models, from the classic 'Jumbo' Extra Thin to the robust Offshore series.
Some standout AP watches featured on the platform include the 2022 Perpetual Calendar, a nod to the original Royal Oak, sporting the iconic "Night Blue, Cloud 50" grand tapisserie dial (£81,500). In 2018, a highly exclusive AP Royal Oak, limited to just 30 units, showcased a distinctive dial with orange Sanskrit hour markers (£148,251). For both watch enthusiasts and Marvel aficionados, a 2021 Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Concept Flying Tourbillon inspired by 'Black Panther' takes the spotlight. Limited to 250 units and fetching a record €240,000, its creative design and captivating flying tourbillon at 6 o’clock make it a coveted collector's item.
