Choosing an Investment Timepiece
It’s highly important to take your time to carry out research when looking for a watch as an investment. Although there are timepieces that typically hold and increase in value, there is no guarantee that it will increase in value, which is a consideration for all luxury investments. There are several models from the Audemars Piguet collection that tend to hold their value for enthusiasts and for those who wear their watches for semi-regular use. However, with that being said, there are several models that also provide sizeable increases in your investment over time. When considering an Audemars Piguet watch as an investment timepiece, consider the following:
- Carry out research into the current market as well as updates from Audemars Piguet and authorised dealers. If a model is likely to be discontinued, for example, then this can be a good investment. You should also consider information on models that tend to increase in value.
- Although personal preferences are important, this may not dictate the best models or collections to consider for investment. Demand is a highly important factor in determining whether an investment timepiece increases in value.
- Work with our team to find the best investment timepiece for you. We have many years of experience in the industry and we are able to source timepieces from our extensive network. If you are unable to source your ideal watch, then we can recommend similar timepieces that are good investment pieces.
