Condition is paramount for Audemars Piguet. Unpolished cases, perfect bracelet finishing, scratch-free sapphire, and original components command premium prices. Any polishing or modifications reduce value significantly.

Royal Oak bracelet is integral to value. Perfect fit, seamless integration, and proper finishing are essential. We pay premium prices for watches with original bracelets in excellent condition.
Documentation
Box, papers, warranty card, and service records add 15-25% to value for most references. For steel sports models trading above retail, documentation is especially important for authentication and provenance.
Market Demand
Current Royal Oak market shows strong demand for steel sports models. Some references benefit from timing around major auctions, while others maintain consistent premiums year-round. We provide transparent market analysis.
