Learn More About the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar
Do Royal Oak Perpetual Calendars hold their value?
Yes, the Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar is considered one of Audemars Piguet’s most prestigious and technically impressive models. Their value is supported by limited production, complex mechanical design, and strong global demand—particularly for versions in ceramic, precious metals, or limited editions. Many models retain or increase in value, especially if accompanied by original box and papers.
Which references of the Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar are most valuable?
Highly sought-after references include the full ceramic models (like the 26579CE), limited-edition titanium or platinum pieces, and vintage QP models from earlier Royal Oak generations. Collectors place a premium on rare configurations and well-preserved examples with a strong provenance.
How does condition affect resale value?
As with all high-end timepieces, condition is crucial. Minor scratches or signs of wear can impact resale value, especially on ceramic or highly polished gold models. Keeping the watch serviced, maintaining original parts, and having documentation like the certificate of origin and service history can significantly boost resale value.
Are complications like the perpetual calendar harder to sell?
Not at all—while more complex, perpetual calendar models appeal to a knowledgeable segment of the market that actively seeks such complications. These watches often attract collectors looking for mechanical mastery and prestige, making them highly liquid in the right secondary market—especially when sold through a specialist like The Watch Exchange London.
Is it better to sell a Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar privately or through a professional buyer?
While private sales can sometimes yield higher returns, they come with increased risk, time investment, and a lack of guaranteed payment. Selling to a trusted, established buyer like The Watch Exchange London provides a secure, quick, and professionally managed process—with same-day payment and no uncertainty.
How can I authenticate my Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar before selling?
Ensure your watch’s serial number, reference number, and caseback engravings match official Audemars Piguet documentation. Original paperwork, service history, and the presence of the correct movement are key indicators. For complete peace of mind, we offer complimentary appraisals and in-house authentication by our expert team.
