Are AP watches worth the money?

Are AP watches worth the money?
Many watch lovers believe that AP watches are worth the money. A family-owned company, Audemars Piguet offers universally acclaimed, widely coveted luxury watches that it produces in Switzerland. Throughout its long history, the watchmaker has contributed many innovations to the world of watch design. For example, when the quartz crisis of the 1970s left many watchmakers in the lurch, Audemars Piguet found a creative solution, tapping the Geneva-born Gérald Genta to conceive the first-ever luxury watch in stainless steel. Launched at what would become the Baselworld watch and jewelry fair in 1972, the Royal Oak, with its octagonal face and integrated bracelet, would come to define the look of Audemars Piguet and revolutionize the luxury wristwatch industry, setting a standard that continues to this day. However, whether or not it’s worth investing in Audemars Piguet watches is totally subjective! At 1stDibs, we believe in buying what you love. Our shopping experience enables discovery and learning, whether you are a seasoned connoisseur or just beginning your collection. Find Audemars Piguet watches and other watches for sale on 1stDibs.
