Audemars Piguet Preliminary Assessment
Sell Your Audemars Piguet in Istanbul
To sell, trade or discuss consignment for an Audemars Piguet, share its reference, condition, warranty card, box and photographs through the watch assessment form. The ART Jewellery & Watches team reviews Royal Oak, Royal Oak Offshore, Code 11.59 and other references and, where appropriate, arranges an appointment at Zorlu Center, Istanbul.
Identify the Reference Correctly
Audemars Piguet references distinguish case size, material and dial colour; Royal Oak references such as 15500ST, 15510ST and 16202ST look alike but are different watches. The reference is usually shown on the warranty card. Entering the full reference in the form speeds up the preliminary assessment.
Case and Bracelet Condition
On the Royal Oak and Royal Oak Offshore, the transitions between brushed surfaces and polished bevels play an important part in the assessment. Bracelet stretch, the screw heads on the octagonal bezel and any knocks around the crystal should be clearly visible in the photographs. Mention any previous polishing or service.
Sale, Trade and Consignment
The suitable route depends on the reference, condition, set items such as the warranty card and box, service history and market demand. Submitting the form does not create an offer or a commitment to purchase. Final terms are agreed only after the watch has been examined at Zorlu Center.
Audemars Piguet Selling FAQ
Can I sell a Royal Oak without its warranty card?
Yes. An invoice and brand service records support the watch's history, and the missing warranty card is taken into account in the valuation.
Are the Royal Oak and Royal Oak Offshore assessed the same way?
The core criteria are the same: reference, condition, set and service history. On Offshore models, material-specific details such as rubber-clad crowns and pushers or ceramic and forged carbon case parts are also checked.
Do missing bracelet links affect the assessment?
They can. A full set of original links is preferred on Royal Oak bracelets, so if you have removed links, bring them with the watch.
Do I need to visit Zorlu Center for the valuation?
The preliminary assessment can start online. A private appointment at Zorlu Center, Istanbul may be needed for the final inspection and completion.
