watch manufacturer. It is one of the oldest and most established Swiss
watchmakers, the company was a partnership between Jules Audemars and Edward
Piguet officially formed in 1889. They focused on only high-quality, complex
ultra-precise watches. To this day, Audemars Piguet is the oldest watch

product line overview AP has long been consider one of a handfull of the
greatest makers of watches. "Haute Horology" is the password for this brand. AP
was the first elite brand to debut a “sport” category in 1972 with its launch of
the “Royal Oak”. This octagon shape won it mass apeal. 25 years later, this
watch was reborn and a legend was born. The “Offshore” is easily the most noted
part of AP's product line. From the Carbon Fiber watch made for defeneder of the
America's Cup "Team Alinghi" to the limited editions "Montoya" and
"Barrichello". These massive chronographs are timepieces coveted by men looking
for a tough no nonsense watch. Of course, AP offers Tourbillons, Grande
Complications, and Equation of Time - just to name a few of it's incredible
complications. Many fantastic ladies watches debut and become later discontinued
and available at fantastic discounts.
essential watches "market assessment" It's widely known that the market is very strong for
both new and preowned Offshore Chronographs. Noted are “Montoya”, “T3”,
"Barrichello" and the 2007 release “Team Alinghi". All these models are selling
far above their original retails and are highly sought after by collectors.
However, other than the Royal Oak Offshore the market for AP’s core lines
including the “Jules Audemars” and “Edward Piguet” series aren’t quite as strong
as normal discounts for these pieces sometimes reach 30 - 35%. Normal Internet
discounts for Lady’s models range from 40-60% off as many models have recently
been discontinued.
