Audemars Piguet Jewelry

Swiss

The story of celebrated family-owned manufacturer Audemars Piguet and its universally acclaimed, widely coveted luxury watches begins deep in the Jura Mountains in western Switzerland.

The Vallée de Joux has been a haven of watchmaking since the late 18th century, when the residents of farming communities began creating timepieces during the winter months.

Jules Louis Audemars (1851–1918) and Edward Auguste Piguet (1853–1919), both natives of the region, were already deeply entrenched in the world of watchmaking when they joined forces to form a new house of horology near the end of the 19th century, an alliance that would be the start of a multigenerational family company. With complementary specialties within the field, Audemars and Piguet made the perfect pair in 1875: Audemars, the more technically minded of the two, oversaw production, while Piguet specialized in quality control and led the business and marketing parts of the outfit.

Audemars Piguet’s first major milestone came in 1892, when it created the world’s first minute-repeating movement for a wristwatch. (It was sold to Omega, whose origins date to 1848.) That was soon followed in 1899 with the Universelle pocket watch, a masterpiece of horology that boasted a perpetual calendar, minute repeater, alarm and chronograph with jumping seconds. It is still said to be the most complicated timepiece that Audemars Piguet has ever designed.

Between 1918 and 1919, both founders of Audemars Piguet had died and were replaced by their respective sons, incidentally both named Paul. Under the leadership of ​​Paul Louis Audemars and Paul Edward Piguet, the watchmaker continued to innovate. It retained an ever-evolving technical focus and found new praise for its efforts, producing the world’s thinnest pocket-watch caliber in 1925, the first skeletonized pocket watch in 1934 and the world’s thinnest wristwatch in 1946.

When the quartz crisis of the 1970s left many watchmakers in the lurch, Audemars and Piguet found a creative solution, tapping the Geneva-born Gérald Genta to conceive the first-ever luxury watch in stainless steel. Launched at what would become the Baselworld watch and jewelry fair in 1972, the Royal Oak, with its octagonal face and integrated bracelet, would come to define the look of Audemars Piguet and revolutionize the luxury wristwatch industry, setting a standard that continues to this day.

A Legacy Of Complicated Elegance Before the Royal Oak became its defining reference, Audemars Piguet was a master of the classical dress watch. This Day Date Moonphase is a perfect expression of that legacy, combining three useful complications in a beautifully balanced display. The reference 25589BA is a reminder of AP's deep heritage in high watchmaking, executed in a solid gold case with the kind of understated confidence that defined the manufacture for its first century. It is a piece that prioritizes craft over hype. High Horology In A Classic Case This watch represents one of the strongest value propositions in vintage collecting. It delivers a complicated, precious metal timepiece from one of the best names in the business in a discreet and timeless package. The case wears beautifully as a traditional dress watch, fitting easily under a cuff. The smooth, domed bezel offers a classic profile for the yellow gold case, framing the clean white dial and its three distinct registers. An Honest And Original Example This example is in very good condition. The case is good, showing honest wear consistent with its age, but the dial is perfect. The watch retains its original leather strap and 18K yellow gold Audemars Piguet buckle, a detail that speaks to a life of careful ownership. The crystal is also original and in excellent shape. As with every watch we offer, this piece has been verified as mechanically sound and is ready to wear. For The Collector Who Knows This is a watch for someone who values watchmaking over marketing. It comes from a period when Audemars Piguet focused on slim, elegant cases and complex movements for a clientele that understood true luxury. The combination of a day, date, and moonphase in an automatic movement offers real utility. It is a confident and sophisticated choice that signals a genuine appreciation for the craft, not just the name on the dial.

A Refined Expression Of A Storied Heritage Before the Royal Oak reshaped the brand, Audemars Piguet built its legacy as a master of high-end dress watches. This 18K white gold Ellipse, with its matte black diamond dial and diamond-set bezel, is a prime example of that era. It showcases the manufacture's skill in combining intricate precious metal work with subtle gem-setting, creating a piece that has flash without being overstated. This watch reflects a time when Audemars Piguet operated as both a watchmaker and a jeweler, blurring the lines between the two disciplines. Subtle Luxury In White Gold This particular Ellipse embodies a distinct approach to luxury. The matte black dial provides a deep, understated backdrop for the diamond accents, while the diamond-set bezel adds sparkle without overwhelming the elegant lines of the white gold case. The integrated 18K white gold bracelet completes the sophisticated aesthetic, creating a cohesive and distinguished look. It is a configuration that balances overt opulence with refined taste.

Throughout its long history, the watchmaker has contributed many innovations to the world of watch design.

    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.

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.

Irregular beveling or rough spots usually indicate a replica. Next, examine the dial with a magnifying glass. You should notice two distinct textures in the iconic "Tapisserie" pattern.

    It can be difficult to state exactly what type of watch the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak is due to the very nature of its design. Before its release, most watches for men were either dress watches or sports watches. Its creator, Gérald Genta, intended for the Royal Oak to be a bridge between the two. It has sporty features like an octagonal case and specially designed bezel screws, but also has dressier details. Some people refer to it as a sports dress watch due to this unique blend of elements. On 1stDibs, shop an assortment of Audemars Piguet Royal Oak watches.

  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 27, 2023
    To tell a fake Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore apart from a real one, first closely examine the dial. The tapisserie pattern on the dial should feature raised squares in a regular pattern. On fakes, the dial is often just stamped with a grid to mimic the complex texture of an authentic Offshore. Also, look at the finish on the case. A real Oak Offshore will have an even finish all over with no variations in color or rough spots. Any flaws indicate that you're likely looking at a replica. When in doubt, a licensed appraiser or knowledgeable appraiser can assist you with authentication. Explore a collection of Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore watches on 1stDibs.
