FAQ

How long is the waitlist for a steel Royal Oak in Singapore?

Expect 2-5+ years for popular steel Royal Oak references at authorized dealers. Waitlist times vary based on your purchase history with AP, relationship with sales associates, and the specific reference requested. The "Jumbo" 16202ST and chronograph 26240ST have particularly long waits.

Is it better to buy AP at retail or pre-owned?

For steel Royal Oak models, retail offers better value if you can get allocation, as these trade above retail on the secondary market. For Code 11.59 and gold models, pre-owned often makes more sense as these depreciate from retail. Pre-owned also provides immediate availability without waitlists.

What's the best entry-level Audemars Piguet?

The Royal Oak 15550ST (37mm) at approximately S$28,500 retail represents the most accessible current-production AP. On the pre-owned market, the Royal Oak Offshore Diver 15710ST offers excellent value around S$32,000-42,000 with strong build quality and the iconic AP design language.

Are AP watches a good investment?

Steel Royal Oak models have historically held or appreciated in value, but this isn't guaranteed. Buy AP for the craftsmanship and wearing pleasure first. If investment matters, focus on steel sports models with strong collector demand. Gold models and Code 11.59 typically depreciate from retail.

How can I verify an AP watch is authentic?

Check the finishing quality, particularly the beveling and brushing on the case and bracelet. Verify serial numbers match between the watch, warranty card, and AP's records. The movement visible through the caseback should show impeccable finishing. When in doubt, have the watch inspected by AP service or a reputable dealer before purchasing.

What's the difference between Royal Oak and Royal Oak Offshore?

The Offshore is larger (42-44mm vs 37-41mm typically), bolder, and sportier than the standard Royal Oak. Offshore models often feature rubber straps, ceramic pushers, and more aggressive styling. The Royal Oak maintains Genta's original elegant proportions. Choose Offshore for a statement piece; choose Royal Oak for refined versatility.

Should I buy Code 11.59?

Code 11.59 offers exceptional movement finishing, immediate availability, and unique design at comparable prices to Royal Oak. The catch: significant depreciation from retail. If you love the design and plan to keep it long-term, buy pre-owned for better value. Don't buy expecting investment returns.

How often does an AP watch need servicing?

AP recommends service every 5-7 years for standard models. Complicated watches like tourbillons may need more frequent attention. Signs you need service sooner: accuracy loss exceeding 10 seconds per day, sticky crown operation, or moisture inside the crystal.

Can I negotiate AP prices?

Retail prices at authorized dealers are fixed. However, you may receive value-adds like straps, accessories, or priority allocation on future pieces. Pre-owned dealers have more pricing flexibility. Always compare prices across multiple pre-owned sources before purchasing.

What warranty comes with a new AP watch?

New AP watches from authorized dealers include a 5-year international warranty covering manufacturing defects. The warranty doesn't cover normal wear, accidents, or damage from unauthorized service. Register your watch on AP's website to activate the full warranty period.

MINT Conclusion

Audemars Piguet represents the pinnacle of luxury sports watchmaking. Whether you're pursuing a Royal Oak, exploring the Royal Oak Offshore, or considering the underrated Code 11.59, understanding the Singapore market helps you make informed decisions.

These timepieces represent substantial investments that deserve proper protection. Standard insurance policies fall short for luxury watches, leaving gaps in coverage for theft, accidental damage, and travel risks that collectors face daily.

MINT provides specialist watch insurance designed for Singapore collectors, covering your AP collection with agreed value policies, worldwide protection, and expert claims handling.
