The Latest Audemars Piguet Purchase Market Information
The reason why Audemars Piguet is considered to be at the best time to sell
If you are considering appraising your Audemars Piguet, 'now' is the perfect time. The price of Audemars Piguet is soaring as the JPY weakens. However, it is difficult to predict when the exchange rate and the market price of watches will drop. Therefore, if you are thinking of selling, it is better to do so as soon as possible. Leave it to Otakaraya, the purchasing store with many professional appraisers and experts for your Audemars Piguet appraisal.
Why Audemars Piguet can be sold at a high price?
The high level of recognition as the pinnacle of "the world's top three watch brands".
Audemars Piguet is one of 'the world's top three watch brands.' 'The world's top three watch brands' is a general term referring to the three brands that honor tradition, created by the hands of craftsmen with a high sense of aesthetics and technical skill. Being 'the world's top three watch brands' means the brand has a high level of recognition, supported by watch enthusiasts around the world, and is a highly esteemed figure in the industry.
The number of production is low and its rarity is very high.
Audemars Piguet watches are primarily created through meticulous handcraft by skilled artisans. As a result, the number of watches produced by Audemars Piguet is significantly lower compared to other brands that mass-produce in automated factories. Additionally, due to its high popularity, Audemars Piguet tends to have a limited distribution. Watches with high rarity are naturally more likely to result in higher purchase prices.
Luxury and high-quality materials are used.
Audemars Piguet is known for updating gold, a material traditionally used in jewelry, with a modern twist. Luxury watches made from high-quality materials are more likely to be purchased at a high price, even when focusing solely on the value of the materials. Audemars Piguet is a brand where, in addition to the "brand value," the "material value" also makes it a prime candidate for high purchase prices.
The History of Audemars Piguet
The history of Audemars Piguet began in 1875, founded by Jules-Louis Audemars and Edward-Auguste Piguet. Since then, Audemars Piguet has created numerous luxury watches equipped with complex mechanisms such as tourbillons and moon phases. Today, it has established a solid position as one of the world's top three luxury watch brands.
Why luxury watch prices are soaring
01
High Demand Even for Used Items (Sell Even If Broken)
Because luxury brand watches are expensive, many people seek out pre-owned items. The more popular the brand, the higher the demand, making it easier to achieve high buyback prices. Furthermore, at OTAKARAYA, we can even purchase broken watches or watches that are only parts. Some of these items can still result in a high buyback price.

02
Value as a Tangible Asset
Luxury brand watches possess value as "tangible assets." Demand is stable because circulation and production volumes are often limited, and the brand value tends not to decrease. In recent years, an increasing number of people are using brand watches for investment purposes, and purchase prices have been trending upward.

How to Get a Higher Price for Your Watch
Clean Your Watch
No matter how high-end the model or good the brand, the buyback price isn't fixed. Dirt, scratches, etc., can negatively impact the appraisal. While some scratches are somewhat unavoidable, don't just rely on the watch's inherent quality; please clean off dirt as much as possible using a dry cloth, cotton swabs, etc. However, be aware that depending on the watch's materials and the cleaning supplies used, you could potentially cause scratches or strip coatings, making the condition worse. Therefore, only clean within a range you are comfortable with.
Gather All Accessories from the Time of Purchase
When you bought the watch new, it likely came with various accessories such as the case, warranty card, extra links (koma), etc. Even simple paperwork can increase your watch's value and is often more important than you might imagine. Having all the original items is ideal. This is often overlooked, but having everything tends to increase the appraisal amount.
Should You Have it Repaired or Overhauled?
It's true that getting a non-working watch running again can lead to a higher buyback price. However, spending, for example, S$1,000 on repairs does not guarantee a S$1,000 increase in the appraisal value. Furthermore, for antique watches, replacing parts can actually significantly decrease their value as antiques. Even if your watch is broken or seems to need repairs, please consult us at Otaakaraya first.

Frequently Asked Questions
about Audemars Piguet Purchase
Why do luxury watches retain their value and sell for high prices?
This is because the supply cannot keep up with the demand. While luxury watches have a considerable circulation compared to other types of watches, the demand is so high that they often become difficult to obtain. As a result, the price naturally rises, which significantly impacts the valuation.
When is the best time to sell a luxury watch?
The best time to sell a luxury watch can vary. Sometimes, the right moment comes quickly, while other times, waiting longer can increase the value. There is no definite answer as to when it’s best. If you plan to store the watch for a longer period before selling, it’s important to keep it in good condition. For vintage watches, we recommend proper storage and regular maintenance to ensure they retain their value.
How much can a luxury watch be sold for?
The price can vary depending on the latest market trends, but luxury watches generally have a high asset value, which means their prices tend to hold steady or even increase over time.
Can a watch with a worn-out strap be purchased?
Yes, it is possible. Even if the strap is worn out or torn, we are happy to assess and purchase it in any condition.
Can a watch with a cracked glass be purchased?
Yes, we are happy to assess and purchase watches in any condition. However, since there is a risk of injury from broken glass, please be careful when bringing it in for assessment.
Is it okay to sell a watch that still works but is quite old?
Absolutely, no problem at all. It might even have appreciated in value as an antique if production has since ceased. We are happy to assess watches in any condition.
Can I sell a watch that no longer works?
We would be delighted to appraise it for you. In many cases, bringing us the watch in its non-functional state may result in a higher net amount for you than paying for repairs yourself before selling it.
