Audemars Piguet: A Legacy of Innovation

Audemars Piguet Watch Repair

Founded 1875

Jules Louis Audemars and Edward Auguste Piguet joined forces in the Vallée de Joux, Switzerland, founding Audemars Piguet & Cie in 1881. For over 150 years, the brand has remained independent and family-owned — a rarity in Swiss watchmaking. Their slogan: “To Break the Rules, You Must First Master Them.”
AP pioneered the first minute-repeating movement in 1892, the first skeleton watch in 1934, and the iconic Royal Oak in 1972 — the world’s first luxury steel sports watch.

2.6B CHF — estimated 2025 revenue, up 10% year-over-year. ~52,000 watches produced annually. #3 largest Swiss watch brand by sales. Secondary market prices for AP remain strong — up 1% in 2025, with Royal Oak “Jumbo” and Perpetual Calendar models trading well above retail. Collectors are now more strategic than ever: hype fades, but craftsmanship holds.

Market Desirability: Which AP Sizes Are Most Sought After?

Highest Demand / Collector Grails

  • 39mm Royal Oak “Jumbo” (16202ST) – The purest continuation of the 1972 original. Produced in minimal quantities, demand consistently exceeds supply. The holy grail of AP collecting.
  • 37mm Royal Oak Double Balance Wheel – Ideal for smaller wrists, increasingly popular among both men and women.
  • 41mm Royal Oak Selfwinding (15510ST) – The modern essential. Cleaner proportions, updated movement, steady resale performance.

Strong & Growing Segments

  • 42mm Royal Oak Offshore Diver – Muscular yet wearable proportions (14.2mm thick), perfect for an ultra-luxurious sports watch.
  • 43mm Royal Oak Offshore Chronograph – Bold, aggressive, and packed with AP’s in-house calibre 4401 flyback chronograph movement.
  • 38mm Code 11.59 – The more compact, versatile version of AP’s contemporary round case collection, gaining traction.
  • Pro tip: The 2024–2025 market recalibration means collectors are now choosing carefully — craftsmanship and finishing matter more than hype.

Our Recommended Service for Audemars Piguet Watches

What the Service Includes Daily Care Between Services Why It Matters
1Complete disassembly and cleaning of the movement Rinse after saltwater exposure — Then have water resistance tested during regular servicing. Removes wear, dust, and old oil from inside the movement.

I had such a wonderful experience at Newport Jewelers, and I especially want to recognize Jacob for his exceptional customer service! I absolutely did not want to be without my ring, but it needed to be resized. Jacob got me in right away and went above and beyond to make sure I wasn’t without it for long. He had my ring resized in record time, and I couldn’t have been happier with the service and care he provided. What really stood out to me was how accommodating, professional, and kind Jacob was. Customer service like that is hard to find these days! I had actually called another jeweler in the same plaza beforehand, and the person I spoke with was extremely rude and unhelpful. The difference in customer service was honestly night and day. I highly recommend Newport Jewelers and Jacob. If you want someone who genuinely cares about their customers and takes pride in their work, definitely see Jacob! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I brought my Rolex in after I cracked the crystal and Jacob took care of it for me. He was very helpful and did a great job with the repair. My watch looks like new again!

Jacob did amazing work on my engagement ring that was passed down to me from my grandmother. He resized the ring and made it silver. It is my dream ring and he made my dreams come true. I can’t appreciate him enough, he is amazing. I will reccomend him to everyone I know !

Really happy with my experience at Newport Jewelers. I went in looking for an engagement ring and honestly wasn’t sure exactly what I wanted at first. Jacob was really helpful and took the time to show me different options and answer all my questions. I ended up finding a ring that I absolutely loved. The whole experience was great, and I really appreciate Jacob’s help. Definitely recommend Newport Jewelers if you’re looking for an engagement ring.

I had a wonderful experience meeting and doing business with Jacob. He was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and a pleasure to work with. I needed a ring resized, and the results were even better than I expected, especially considering how significant the size change was. The craftsmanship was excellent, and the ring came back looking brand new. I was also really impressed to learn that Jacob makes his own jewelry, which shows in the quality and attention to detail of his work. You can tell he takes a lot of pride in what he does. I’m extremely happy with how my ring turned out and would highly recommend Jacob to anyone looking for beautiful craftsmanship, quality work, and great service.

I had two rings worked on by Newport Jewelers the first was a repair, stone replacement and smoothing down sharp edges making my ring more comfortable to wear. The ring is stunning, he cleaned and polished it Next I had him change the mounting of my gorgeous 12 carat vivid blue sapphire from a very old platinum ballerina styled ring. To a modern pave mounting. The ring is stunning when I saw it I got goose bumps and wanted to cry. I have never seen a more beautiful ring, and the best part is it is mine!!! Thank you so much I am so so very happy
