What we look at on a Audemars Piguet
Audemars Piguet’s Le Brassus history began in 1875; Gérald Genta’s Royal Oak launched in 1972. Royal Oak, Royal Oak Offshore and other Audemars Piguet references are not interchangeable price categories. Reference, material, size, dial, bracelet or strap and movement functions distinguish one watch from another. We examine your particular example and explain how its condition, documentation and current buying opportunity inform the offer.
- The reference and case number, and whether they match the papers
- Box, papers and the AP Heritage or certificate where present
- Whether the case and bracelet have been polished, which matters enormously here
- Bracelet stretch and link count
- Any aftermarket work: diamond setting, replaced bezels, refinished dials
Examine the case and bracelet as well as the movement
We assess visible wear, case and bezel condition, bracelet fit and links, clasp, dial, hands and operating behavior. Tell us about polishing, replacement parts, customization and known service needs. A photograph can hide condition details. Bring the watch as it is with the records and accessories you have; ask before arranging cosmetic work solely to sell it.
Ask how the findings affect the offer
Our experienced watch team combines examination with current resale comparisons and established buyer connections. Timing equipment can help assess a compatible movement’s operating behavior, while authentication requires broader examination. We explain the findings and any questions still to resolve before a final offer, rather than promising a percentage of an unrelated retail asking price.
Visit or start with preliminary photographs
Our family-owned business has served San Diego since 2006, with decades of combined team experience. For an approved mail-in evaluation, a specialist arranges the appropriate kit or label and confirms insurance and return arrangements before dispatch. Final inspection and acceptance precede payment; discuss method and timing before you decide.

Questions people ask first
Do I need box and papers for a Royal Oak?
You can begin an inquiry without them. Bring the box, warranty documents, service records and accessories you have. Documentation and completeness are part of the assessment, but neither missing papers nor a complete set alone determines the final offer.
What about an aftermarket diamond-set Royal Oak?
Tell us about added diamonds and any changed parts, and send clear photos if you are starting remotely. Factory-set and later-customized examples need appropriate comparisons. Customization does not guarantee a higher offer; we examine the actual watch before explaining its effect.
Can I borrow against an Audemars Piguet?
Ask about a collateral loan if you want to redeem the watch rather than sell it. We evaluate the item and explain eligibility, the amount, written costs, repayment dates and redemption terms. There is no credit check. The watch is held as collateral and may be lost if the agreement is not repaid.
Do missing Royal Oak bracelet links matter?
Tell us which links and accessories are available. Bracelet completeness, fit and condition form part of the assessment; the specialist will explain their relevance to your particular watch.
Should I polish my AP before an evaluation?
Speak with us first and disclose prior polishing if known. The existing finish and shape are part of the condition assessment; cosmetic work is not a guaranteed way to increase an offer.
Is an online AP estimate a final offer?
No. Photos and records help us understand the inquiry, but the final offer depends on inspection, the actual configuration and relevant current market comparisons.
Prefer to keep it? Borrow against the watch instead. Not local? Sell from home. Selling something else too? We also buy diamonds, jewelry and designer handbags.
