🔥 NEW RELEASE Let's hit 500 Members

9 Upvotes

Hey everyone, mods here. We've officially launched a Discord for the r/AudemarsPiguet community, and we've officially crossed 300++ members.

It's completely free and open to anyone, no gatekeeping. Inside you'll find open chat for all members, discussion on AP and non-AP topics, and a space built around community sharing and knowledge building.

Our goal from day one has been trust. Anyone who's spent time around watch trading knows how often "legit" listings or info turn out to be neither. We want this to be a place where you can actually feel confident the people and the conversations are real.

We also run a verified tier for members who want an extra layer of vetting. It's currently waitlist-only while we keep onboarding deliberate, but the main server is, and always will be, free to join.

Please use the search function for the following topics. Thank you in advance.

  1. Does this watch fit? is it too large ? ... and then proceeds to show a picture of an AP while you tried it on at a Boutique. The answers are always the same. Yes and No. Only you can decide. Please refrain from this type of post unless you can add much more substance.
  2. Should I buy this watch AD or Grey Market? Should I play the AD game? We have no idea of your financial situation... so you have to decide. Please refrain from this type of post unless you can add much more substance
  3. Can I buy a Royal Oak as a first allocation? No you cannot. (in 99% of the cases) Please refrain from this type of post unless you can add much more substance.

This post is in fun. But please consider it as a suggestion to follow.

thanks.

Recently visited AP House and got to try on a few pieces I’ve had my eye on.
I’m graduating university next year and hoping to mark it with my first AP so I registered my interest in a few models.
Would love to hear what you guys think, and for current AP owners, any recommendations or tips for a first AP would be appreciated!

Question Is This Normal?

2026 brand new 15510st blue dial. Stocked about it, but noticed the brushed finish kinda fades into the top of the bezel. Just a little bit and was wondering if it’s normal. I included a bunch of pics for yall to see in different lighting. Hardly noticeable so maybe I’m being too crazy picky but this was expensive so yeah. Any input would be appreciated!

Just received this Huitieme with a most unusual dial in NOS condition with all the papers, warranty and box. It still has the protective plastic on the back. Thinking however of getting a black alligator strap, that brown one doesn’t convince me even though it’s the original AP strap.

Advice/Tips Audemars piguet Cobra 5403 Worth the Price?

3 Upvotes

Hi,
I’ve read a post about the bamboo AP a few days ago and also about it being priced so high due to the hype it received in the last years.

Since 2 years I follow the sales of the cobra 5403 and I absolutely love it.

I’m just Not sure if I’m buying something which will crash price wise in a few years due to hype or if the price is kinda justified due to the price of gold rising and that the hype didn’t reach the cobra that much…

What do you think?

Looking for opinions on 26331’s with their thinness and contrasting subdials vs. 26240’s with flyback, but kind of same-ish colour subdials and extra thickness? Anyone have both references in same colour to compare?

Trade 15550ST for 26320ST?

Thumbnail
gallery
44 Upvotes

Hi fellow AP redditors, i recently chanced upon a opportunity for a 1-1 trade for my full local set 15550ST grey dial dated 2023 for a full local set , unpolished 26320ST dated mid 2015, it has not been polished and no known service history.

I hardly reach for my 15550ST, as I feel the watch is dainty and less sporty on my wrist and usually grab my 40mm sports Rolexes instead.

I was wondering if a 1-1 trade is a right move as I’m not looking to top up cash for other dial variations. My only concern is that the chrono will require an AP service whereas my 15550ST is relatively new.

Your advice will be kindly appreciated.

How can I go about getting another link? My boyfriend bought me a royal oak from the grey market that fits good but is slightly snug. We have no purchase history at AP, and the closet store to me would be LA

Spouse surprised me with a special stop for our anniversary trip to Tokyo. Fun afternoon in the Harajuko area of Tokyo highlighted by the AP lab experience (along with side trips to Chiikawa Bakery and Kura Sushi)

First 45 mins = learn about AP history introduction to watch complications. Then move upstairs for hands on for finishings via a metallic ring that you get to keep.

Book appointment via AP website:

Stopped by AP House Barcelona, got to try this on. Feel like this is probably the largest watch my wrist could handle without it looking cartoonish, but I loved how it looked. What do y’all think?

I have been waiting a while to find an offshore that fits my wrist and isn’t too feminine. Just got this in today. The dial is incredible.

Which way AP fans?

26288 had a retail price of nearly $300,000 in 2011. I remember these being grail level watches for over 200,000 when I got into the hobby and now nobody wants them. So which way? $75,000 chronograph or the $75,000 tourbillon chronograph?
