Sell Audemars Piguet in Australia
Sell Audemars Piguet in Australia
If you want to sell Audemars Piguet watches, start with the exact reference rather than the collection name. A steel Royal Oak, a Royal Oak Offshore chronograph and a Code 11.59 need different comparisons. At WatchCraze, we assess the individual watch and outline two routes to consider: an outright offer or consignment.
Free valuation within 24 hours. Sell outright for same-day payment after inspection and acceptance, or consign for a potential 10-15% higher return.

Share the model, reference number and condition, along with any paperwork you have. Photos of the dial, case back, sides and bracelet or strap will help identify the watch before the next steps are arranged.

Sell Outright or Consign Your AP?
The two options differ mainly in how you receive payment and how long you're prepared to wait. An outright sale gives you a direct offer to consider. With consignment, the watch remains yours while WatchCraze works to find a buyer. We can provide both figures, so you can compare the immediate payout with the potential proceeds from a completed sale.
| Sell outright | Consign | |
|---|---|---|
| Payout | Fixed offer | Sale proceeds less commission |
| Commission | None | Usually 10–15%, with the exact rate agreed upfront |
| Payment timing | Same day after inspection and acceptance | After the sale is completed |
| Ownership | Transfers after the sale | Remains yours until sold |
| Main consideration | Direct sale and quicker payment | Potentially higher return, with no fixed sale date |
Outright gives you a fixed offer with same-day payment after inspection and no commission — a fit if you're funding another purchase or would rather complete the transaction without waiting for a buyer. Consignment keeps the watch yours until it sells and may return around 10-15% more, less the agreed commission, though there's no fixed sale date. You can also ask about a trade-in if you're buying another watch through WatchCraze, or read our watch consignment vs outright sale guide.
How to Sell Your Audemars Piguet
1Send your AP details
Message WatchCraze on WhatsApp or complete the valuation form. Include the reference, condition and whether you have the original box and papers. Photos of the dial, case back, sides and bracelet or strap are useful, along with any service records.
2Get two figures to compare
The team reviews the information and provides an indicative valuation. Ask for both an outright offer and a consignment estimate so you can compare the direct payout with the potential proceeds after commission. WhatsApp enquiries may receive an indicative offer within the hour; form enquiries are answered within one business day.
3Arrange inspection and authentication
If you'd like to proceed, the team will explain the next steps. The watch is checked against the details supplied, including its condition and originality.
4Accept the offer or list the watch
If you accept the outright offer after inspection, same-day payment is available. With consignment, the watch is prepared for sale and listed, and payment follows when the buyer's purchase is completed.
How Much Is My AP Worth?
For an Audemars Piguet valuation anywhere in Australia, start with the exact reference number — it identifies the specific model and finds more relevant comparisons, while condition, originality and included accessories also affect the offer. We compare against completed sales of the same or a similar reference rather than the highest advertised price or retail figures. Where several examples of a reference have recently sold there's a clearer basis for comparison; a rare configuration with little sales history is harder to benchmark.
Reference and production year
The reference identifies the particular configuration, including case material, dial and movement — "Royal Oak" alone isn't enough. A 15510ST, a Royal Oak Chronograph and a Jumbo Extra-Thin have different specifications and should be compared with the right examples. Production year can also help when assessing older or discontinued models. If you don't know the reference, send clear photos and any paperwork rather than guessing.
Condition and originality
The condition of the case, bezel, dial, bracelet or strap and movement all contribute to the assessment. On a Royal Oak, the finishing on the case and bracelet deserves particular attention. Deep marks, damage, heavy polishing or replaced components can affect how collectors assess the watch. Documented repairs and mechanical issues let us adjust the appraisal based on restoration costs.
Documentation and Service History
Box, papers and extras
The original box and warranty papers help support the watch's documentation. Spare bracelet links, additional straps, purchase receipts and service records may also be useful — gather these before sending photos if they're available. Don't assume a missing box or paper rules out a sale; the watch can still be assessed, although the available documentation and accessories may affect the valuation.
Service history
Service invoices help establish what work has been done and when. If your AP has been serviced by Audemars Piguet or an independent watchmaker, include the records and let the team know about any known issues. A service can be expensive, and the cost may not be reflected in the eventual sale price — have the watch assessed first and ask whether further work is likely to be worthwhile.
Where to Sell a Luxury Watch in Australia
Private sale or marketplace
Selling luxury watches privately or through a marketplace could give you access to a large audience and control over the asking price, but dealing with enquiries, payments and shipping also falls on you. It can take longer to find the right buyer.
Auction house
An auction house might be a good idea for rare models, but the final price is uncertain and the process can involve fees and a waiting period.
Jewellers and pawnbrokers
Selling via jewellers and pawnbrokers can be a quicker option, but their offers vary a lot. It may not give you the same selling reach as a specialist dealer.
A specialist dealer like WatchCraze handles everything from the valuation and watch authentication to photography, listing and buyer enquiries. Our presence on Chrono24 can also give listed watches access to a wider pool of buyers. It gives you a balance between speed, price and lower selling risk.
Audemars Piguet Models We Buy and Consign
The Royal Oak, launched in 1972, brought the octagonal bezel and integrated bracelet into the luxury sports-watch category; the Royal Oak Offshore followed in 1993 with a larger, sportier design, while Code 11.59 and Royal Oak Concept appeal for different reasons through their movements, complications or materials. A steel Royal Oak Selfwinding, a precious-metal chronograph and a complicated Concept model aren't interchangeable — their references and buyer groups differ. See the APs currently in our collection.
Royal Oak
The Royal Oak includes Selfwinding models, Extra-Thin references, chronographs and more complicated watches. Its octagonal bezel and integrated bracelet are recognisable, but the details of the individual watch make the difference. Reference, case material, dial, bracelet condition and originality all matter — a steel 15510ST shouldn't be compared directly with a gold chronograph or perpetual calendar simply because both carry the Royal Oak name. Browse Audemars Piguet Royal Oak watches.
Royal Oak Offshore
The Offshore has a larger, sportier design than the original Royal Oak, with chronographs, divers and special editions in different materials and configurations. The full reference is particularly useful here — case material, dial, strap, complication and condition can separate two Offshore models that look broadly similar in a photograph. Include any paperwork identifying a special edition when requesting an assessment. Browse Royal Oak Offshore watches.
Royal Oak Concept
The Concept collection takes a more experimental approach to watch design and mechanics. Complications, distinctive materials and specific movements can make these watches harder to compare with standard production models. For a Concept valuation, provide the full reference and any documentation that identifies the version — a broad comparison with another Royal Oak is unlikely to tell the whole story. View the Audemars Piguet collection.
Code 11.59
Code 11.59 has a round case and a range of movements and complications. A time-only watch and a more complicated version need different comparisons, even when they belong to the same collection. Include the reference, dial details, condition and service history if available — these details help the team identify the watch and assess it against more relevant examples.

Audemars Piguet FAQs
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.
