Is AP more expensive than Rolex?
1 Answer

In some cases, AP may be more expensive than Rolex. With new watches, Audemars Piguet often has higher entry-level price points than Rolex. However, both Swiss watchmakers offer a diverse assortment of models that includes more accessibly priced options. When shopping for a watch, you should think about what you’re looking for in this type of accessory. You may wish to consider the power reserve, materials, accuracy, craftsmanship, where it was manufactured and more. If it’s your first watch, you may wish to consider whether or not you’d prefer a pre-owned model. Buying a new, never-worn watch enables you to build a history with it that isn’t shared by anyone else, but the greatest advantage to buying a pre-owned watch is that it opens up a wider range of models to consider, including rare ones that have been discontinued.
