Pre-Loved Audemars Piguet Royal Oak

Why the Royal Oak is iconic

Designed by Gerald Genta and launched in 1972, the Royal Oak's octagonal bezel, exposed screws, integrated bracelet and Tapisserie dial made stainless steel a luxury proposition for the first time. It remains Audemars Piguet's defining collection and a cornerstone of the luxury-sports-watch category.

What to pay pre-owned

UK pre-owned prices span widely, from roughly £14,000 for time-only steel models to well over £40,000-£100,000+ for chronographs, precious metals and sought-after references, with a median near £16,497. Reference, metal, dial colour and size, complication, condition and full box and papers are the biggest price drivers.

Sizes & variants

Buyers look for the classic 15400/15500 41mm and 15450/15550 37mm time-only models, the 15202 'Jumbo' ultra-thin, Royal Oak Chronographs, and steel, rose gold and blue, black or grey Tapisserie dials.
