What affects how much I can get when I sell my Audemars Piguet?
The reference, production year, material, condition, originality, accessories and service history all contribute to the valuation. A recent sale of a comparable reference is a more useful comparison than a retail price or the asking price of a different model. Send your watch details and photos for an individual assessment.
Where is the best place to sell an AP in Australia?
That depends on whether you want a direct offer or are willing to wait for a buyer through consignment. A specialist second-hand dealer can assess the watch and manage the selling process. WatchCraze has private showrooms in Sydney and Melbourne and accepts enquiries from across Australia.
Can I sell an AP without its box and papers?
Yes. Missing box or papers don't automatically prevent a valuation. Send the documentation you do have, such as a purchase receipt or service record, and explain what's missing. The watch will still be assessed on its specifications and condition.
Does my AP need a service before I sell it?
Not necessarily. A service can be expensive, and the cost may not be recovered in the sale price. Share the service history and any known problems first, then ask whether further work is likely to be worthwhile.
Should I sell outright or consign my AP?
An outright sale gives you a fixed offer, with payment available the same day after inspection and acceptance. Consignment may return more, but you'll wait for a buyer and pay the agreed commission. Compare the actual offer, estimated sale price, fees and timing before deciding.
How long does consignment take, and when do I get paid?
There is no guaranteed timeframe. It depends on the reference, asking price, condition and buyer interest. Payment follows the completed sale rather than the initial listing. Ask the team for an expected timeframe for your particular watch.
