Audemars Piguet Watch Auctions Australia

About Audemars Piguet

Audemars Piguet is a watch house founded in 1875 and based in Le Brassus, Switzerland, best known for Royal Oak and Royal Oak Offshore. Crown Auctions offers pre-owned Audemars Piguet pieces in its Australian online auctions. Each lot is inspected by specialists and listed with photographs and condition notes.

Founded in Le Brassus in 1875 by Jules-Louis Audemars and Edward-Auguste Piguet, the company is still owned by its founding families. It built its name on complicated movements long before sports watches.

In 1972 it launched the Royal Oak, an octagonal steel luxury sports watch designed by Gérald Genta, which created a category of its own.
