A pre-owned Audemars Piguet means, above all, access to the Royal Oak, the absolute icon of sporty-chic watchmaking, without the boutique waiting years. At Francine Joaillerie, every second-hand AP is authenticated and checked by our watchmakers: case and integrated bracelet condition, movement, numbers and finishing consistency.
| Collection | Character | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Royal Oak | Octagonal bezel with eight screws, "Grande Tapisserie" dial, integrated bracelet: Gérald Genta's 1972 masterpiece | The icon, plain and simple |
| Royal Oak Offshore | The oversized sporty version born in 1993 | Assertive character, racing spirit |
| Code 11.59 | Contemporary round watch with complex architecture | Standing apart from the crowd |
| Millenary | Oval case, off-centred movement | Assumed originality |
Founded in 1875 in Le Brassus, in the Vallée de Joux, Audemars Piguet is one of the rare great manufactures still owned by its founding families. In 1972 it upended watchmaking with the Royal Oak, the first luxury sports watch in steel, designed by Gérald Genta. Fifty years on, demand still far outstrips supply, making pre-owned the most direct road to the octagonal bezel.
Because it invented a category, the luxury steel sports watch, and its production remains limited in the face of worldwide demand. Steel references in particular carry long boutique waits.
Perfect alignment of the bezel screws, regularity of the dial tapisserie, link finishing, engravings and numbers: our watchmakers check every detail before sale, warranty and certificate included.
41 mm suits assertive wrists, 39 mm is the historic "Jumbo" format, and 37 mm and below fits slimmer wrists. Trying it on in our Saint-Tropez boutique remains the best judge.
Also worth exploring: our pre-owned Rolex, our Patek Philippe and all our pre-owned luxury watches.
