It is one of the oldest and most established Swiss watchmakers, the company was a partnership between Jules Audemars and Edward Piguet officially formed in 1889. They focused on only high-quality, complex ultra-precise watches. To this day, Audemars Piguet is the oldest watch manufacturer still owned by its founding family.
Product Line Overview: Audemars Piguet watchmakers have long been considered some of the most skilled horology specialists in the world. ‘Haute Horology’ is the keyword for this brand. Audemars Piguet (often abbreviated to ‘AP’) debuted their luxury sports watch category in 1972 with the launch of the Royal Oak.
