Sell your Audemars Piguet watch

This service suits an owner who wants a private, reference-led sale review with the role and expected net stated before committing. Tell us whether your priority is a defined offer, controlled outreach, an upgrade or a valuation without a sale. An enquiry does not appoint us or authorise marketing.

When a different route is needed

This service does not provide guaranteed cash before inspection, a guaranteed highest price or general retail stock to browse. An auction estimate is not an executable purchase offer. For an insurance or estate report, use the separate watch appraisal service. For a watch below our usual value scope, a suitable dealer or marketplace may be a more proportionate option.

A Royal Oak family name is not enough to price a watch. Send the full reference where known, the case material, dial, condition and set. If you cannot identify it, describe the watch and tell us which records you have. Do not open the case to find a number.

Source: Passion Asset Advisory seller-preparation checklist. These are details to review, not a purchase commitment for every reference. Use the Audemars Piguet value guide to understand how comparable evidence is selected.

The active brief is for the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar Openworked, Ref. 26585CE.OO.1225CE.01, in black ceramic. Audemars Piguet's official reference page confirms the model and material. It does not establish a price or authenticate an individual watch.

Check the current mandate criteria and status before submitting. A different Royal Oak, another perpetual calendar or a Double Balance Wheel Openworked is not automatically a match. We review the actual condition, documentation and ownership before any purchase can proceed.

For this buyer-side route, we act for the buyer and the seller pays us no commission. We do not also advise the seller in that transaction. The written offer identifies the counterparty and the inspection, transfer and payment terms. See the Royal Oak perpetual-calendar guide if you need to distinguish references.

Submit my watch for the buyer mandate

Compare what each party commits to do, not just a “sell your watch” button. A purchase offer, a placement estimate and an auction estimate have different conditions. Request the expected amount you keep, the payment trigger and all agreed costs in the same currency.

Our AP consignment and private-placement guide explains the seller agreement and progressive fees. The Net Proceeds Calculator uses visible hypothetical assumptions; it is not an offer or a valuation of your AP.

To choose whom to contact, use our watch-selling provider comparison for AP owners. It separates a reference-matched private sale from a dealer offer, auction and marketplace listing.

Sell an Audemars Piguet in your market

Passion Asset Advisory uses one written sale process, with different practical checks for each market. Choose your location to compare custody, fees and handover before you appoint a buyer or broker.

Owners in Chicago, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Dallas, Atlanta, Boston and Houston use the same written process. Inspection takes place in Geneva, London or Prague by appointment. These guides do not imply an office in each market.

Check the evidence method for Audemars Piguet prices for new watches, October 2026. If you want to retain ownership, compare pawn, loan or sell options for an Audemars Piguet before choosing a sale.

• Identity: the full reference if known, case material, dial and approximate purchase year. Keep full serial and ownership documents in the private enquiry.
• Condition: clear views of the bezel, case sides, back, bracelet or strap and clasp. Show known chips, scratches or other damage, including ceramic parts where relevant.
• Set: box, papers, warranty card, booklets, spare links and original strap or buckle where present. State exactly what is missing.
• History: service records, polishing, refinishing, replacement parts and known faults. Do not hide wear by editing photographs.
• Authority and location: where the watch is now and whether you own it or are authorised to sell it. State any estate or company approval that is still needed.

Do not commission cosmetic work merely to prepare a sale before its effect has been reviewed. Do not open the case or adjust unfamiliar calendar controls for photographs. Physical inspection, including relevant function checks, belongs with a qualified watchmaker under the agreed scope.

A full set supports the file but does not prove authenticity, originality or ownership by itself. Missing papers are a fact to assess, not a reason to invent a replacement history. Start with the text form below; photographs are requested by private email after our reply.

1. Review the reference. We check the details, available evidence and your sale priorities. A written offer or net estimate follows within one business day of complete reference details and photos.
2. Choose the role and route. The proposal states who buys, who PAA represents, fees, expected seller net and what remains conditional. You can decline or compare another proposal.
3. Agree inspection and custody. Before the watch moves, confirm the location, insured value, transfer instructions, inspection scope and return terms.
4. Complete on written terms. Resolve any material difference found at inspection, confirm the accepted price and payment trigger, and retain the settlement record before final release.

We arrange and pay for insured, tracked transfer to inspection and independent inspection on our direct-purchase and private-placement routes. Inspections are by arrangement in Geneva, London or Prague; these are not walk-in offices. The accepted buyer-mandate terms confirm the arrangements for that route.

Direct purchases are paid within two business days after verification and agreed closing conditions. That period does not start when an enquiry is sent. Private placement depends on finding and closing with a suitable buyer. An inspection handover is not final release, and a payment screenshot is not proof of cleared funds.

The estimate separates retail, asking prices and completed transactions. It identifies relevant evidence and any gaps rather than treating an advertised price as a sale. For a valuation with a different purpose, request a separately scoped written watch appraisal.

What the reply covers

We review the reference and your priorities, request any missing evidence and explain suitable routes. The written estimate separates expected gross value, applicable fees and seller net. It states the condition and evidence assumptions. Requesting it is free and creates no obligation to sell.

This form starts a general seller review. To respond specifically to the active black-ceramic 26585CE buyer mandate, use the buyer-mandate submission form. The two routes have different represented sides.

The manufacturer's 26585CE reference page was reviewed on 10 October 2026 for model identity and material. Our dated mandate record is the source for current buyer interest. Those are different facts. No public price, completed sale by us or purchase guarantee is claimed here.

Our route and fee statements follow the published commercial terms approved on 27 September 2026. Read the terms, editorial standards and AP valuation evidence guide. We are not affiliated with Audemars Piguet.

We broker collector-watch sales under a disclosed role. We do not hold general dealer stock. If we buy your watch as principal, that separate role and its offer terms are stated before you accept.
