Audemars Piguet Watches

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.

Questions About Audemars Piguet Watches
  • 1stDibs ExpertAugust 8, 2024
    For watches, AP usually means that a watch was produced by the Swiss luxury watchmaker Audemars Piguet. Jules Louis Audemars (1851–1918) and Edward Auguste Piguet (1853–1919), both natives of the Vallée de Joux region in Switzerland, 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. Their company's first major milestone came in 1892, when it created the world’s first minute-repeating movement for a wristwatch. 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. Nearly a century later, 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 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. Explore a selection of Audemars Piguet watches on 1stDibs.

    There is no hard-and-fast rule for whether an AP is worth more than a Rolex. The value of watches depends on a variety of factors, including their style, materials, condition and rarity. While Rolex generally has a lower entry-level price than Audemars Piguet, some limited edition and older models may be worth more than particular timepieces made by Audemars Piguet. 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. Rolex's two most iconic models are sports watches. Although the Submariner, which debuted in 1953, was developed as a dive watch, its waterproof case, solid construction and good looks made it a favorite of adventurers and urbanites alike, including the fictional character James Bond, who wore it in film classics like Dr. No and Goldfinger. The Daytona, the racing chronograph made famous by Paul Newman, is especially sought after by collectors. On 1stDibs, find a large selection of Audemars Piguet and Rolex watches.

    The dial on the Audemars Piguet is simply called a dial. However, many Audemars Piguet timepieces feature an iconic textural effect known as Tapisserie.

Applying the patterning is a complex process that involves engraving, lathing and pantography, a method of reproducing drawings mechanically by increasing and decreasing their size.

If you're uncertain about the authenticity of a specific timepiece, consult a licensed appraiser or knowledgeable dealer. Explore a wide variety of Audemars Piguet watches on 1stDibs.

    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.

Over the years, Audemars Piguet has produced watches out of both solid gold and gold plating in a variety of sizes. Solid gold watches will contain more grams of gold than plated ones of similar sizes, and the larger the watch is, the more it will weigh.

  • 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.
