Pawn Your Audemars Piguet Watch

Our Audemars Piguet pawnbrokers consider loans against authentic AP watches with established secondary-market demand. The strongest candidates are normally complete, original watches with recognisable references, a clear service history and enough market evidence to support a confident resale valuation.

We frequently assess the following watch models at our Audemars Piguet pawn shop in Mayfair, Central London :

– Royal Oak Selfwinding models in steel, gold, titanium and selected ceramic executions
– Royal Oak Jumbo and Extra-Thin references
– Royal Oak Chronograph, Perpetual Calendar, Tourbillon and other complicated models
– Royal Oak Offshore chronographs, limited editions and early collector references
Code 11.59 models
– Millenary, Jules Audemars and selected vintage Audemars Piguet watches
– Rare or limited editions with their original accessories and documentation.

We typically need the original box, warranty card, and service history. The Certificate of Origin is particularly valuable for AP timepieces. However, in some cases, we might still consider Audemars Piguet watch loans in London without complete documentation.

If you are in or near Central London, visit our Mayfair Audemars Piguet pawn shop – we are located nearby Oxford Street, New Bond Street, Bond Street, Piccadilly, Regents Street, Green park and Marble Arch . Alternatively, we can arrange a staff visit or home appraisal for high-value AP pieces.

Yes. Condition can materially affect both valuation and loan amount, particularly on Royal Oak and Royal Oak Offshore watches, where the case, bezel and integrated bracelet are major parts of the watch’s value.

When deciding on loan offers against your Audemars Piguet as collateral, our pawnbrokers inspect:

– Case and bezel shape, including evidence of excessive polishing
– Brushed and polished finishing on the case and bracelet
– Bracelet stretch, damaged links, loose screws and clasp operation
– Crystal condition, crown function, pushers and water-resistance condition
– Dial originality, luminous material, hands and date display
– Movement performance, chronograph function and service requirements
– Serial, reference and movement consistency
– Aftermarket diamonds, non-original dials, refinished cases and replacement components
– Whether factory service parts have been fitted and properly documented

A routine factory replacement crystal or a documented AP service part may be entirely acceptable. However, a non-original dial, aftermarket diamond bezel, altered case or replacement bracelet can move the watch into a less secure and less liquid market.

Often, yes. A full set generally means the watch with its original presentation box, warranty card or Certificate of Origin, booklets and relevant accessories. For integrated-bracelet watches, spare links can be especially important because they affect whether the next owner can wear the watch comfortably and because original AP links can be costly to replace.

Useful supporting items include:

– Original AP warranty card or Certificate of Origin
– Presentation box and outer packaging
– Instruction manuals and booklets
– Spare bracelet links
– Original invoice or purchase paperwork
– AP service invoice and service pouch
– Limited-edition certificate
– Original screwdriver, extra strap or buckle for Offshore models
– Previous auction catalogue or provenance record for vintage pieces

Papers are not always essential. An older AP without a box or papers may still be suitable security if it can be authenticated and valued confidently. But a full set can reduce buyer uncertainty, improve saleability and support a stronger loan offer.

We offer collateral loans on all Audemars Piguet models, including both contemporary and limited-edition timepieces. This encompasses popular lines such as the Royal Oak, Royal Oak Offshore, and Millenary collections.

Yes. AP loans are available over two to seven months at a fixed rate of 5% interest per month. You can redeem the watch before the agreed end date by repaying the capital borrowed and the interest due under your agreement. There is no separate early-redemption fee.

Before arranging collection, contact the team for a current settlement figure. Once payment is received, we will prepare your Audemars Piguet with its bracelet links, warranty card, box, service paperwork and supplied accessories for return.

If you need more time before the redemption date, contact the team to discuss whether a renewal may be available. Any renewal is subject to agreement.

Our standard loan period is between 2 to 7 months, but we offer the option to extend this term if needed.

No. An Audemars Piguet loan is secured against the watch itself, so the lending decision is based on the watch’s authenticity, condition, valuation and resale liquidity rather than your credit score, income or borrowing history.

This means that an enquiry does not affect your credit rating. We do, however, need to establish that you are the rightful owner and complete identity and anti-money-laundering checks as required. These are ownership and compliance checks, not a conventional credit search.

Yes, you can renew your AP loan by paying the accrued interest, subject to our terms and conditions.

If you’re unable to repay the loan, we may need to sell the watch to recover the loan amount. However, we typically work with our clients to find alternative solutions in these situations.

Having original papers, especially the Certificate of Origin, can significantly increase the loan value for collateral lending on Audemars Piguet watches. We can consider loans on antique AP watches where having the original papers is unlikely.

No. We only accept watches from rightful owners.

Yes, we can consider borrowing against damaged Audemars Piguet timepieces. Our expert appraisers will carefully assess the extent of the damage, considering factors such as the specific model, the nature of the damage, and the potential cost of repairs. Even with damage, rare or limited edition AP watches may still command substantial loans due to their inherent value and collectibility.

Yes, we can. Our experienced appraisers use a combination of advanced techniques to authenticate Audemars Piguet watches. This includes examining the movement, case quality, finishing details and verifying serial numbers against Audemars Piguet’s records.

Heritage is one of the many reasons why pawnbrokers value Audemars Piguet watches so highly. Take the Royal Oak AP model – first released in 1972, the Royal Oak was the first steel luxury sports watch, and some say it was the first ever luxury sports watch.

Interestingly, Audemars Piguet didn’t make the original Royal Oak prototype from steel. The model presented by Audemars Piguet in 1972, then called the Safari, was made from white gold. Even the steel models sold to the public had white gold screws, a subtle touch of quality to the keen observer.

Believe it or not, the Royal Oak prototype, inspired by diver’s helmets, was designed just one day before its presentation. Despite its short design time, the Royal Oak continues to be a timeless classic.

Audemars Piguet updated and re-released the Royal Oak in 1993, called the Royal Oak Offshore. The company continues to revise and upgrade the Royal Oak legacy with each new iteration.

Finally, Jules Louis Audemars and Edward Auguste Piguet believed in the quality of a handmade luxury watch. Even as their brand grew, they chose to hand-make their watches rather than mass-produce them.
