Oh, my goodness! I heard some folks talkin’ ’bout Audemars Piguet watches, and lemme tell ya, it’s a whole big deal, especially if ya living over in Singapore, like where they got this fancy pay-monthly system. I mean, who wouldn’t wanna wear a shiny, high-end watch, right? But did ya know you can pay for these big fancy watches in instalments? Yep, that’s right, they got this thing called Zip, and you can pay for it over 6 weeks! You don’t gotta put out all your money at once, which is mighty handy for us regular folks who ain’t got that kinda cash just sittin’ around. They do it for you, and all you gotta do is pick out your watch, like the Royal Oak, and you’re all set! But don’t get too excited, there’s more to it than just the fancy pay thing!
Now, I’ve been hearing a lot about how even the big-time watches like Audemars Piguet are not as hot as they used to be. I heard from some watch experts sayin’ the demand for those fancy 41mm Royal Oaks in steel is droppin’! Ain’t that somethin’? You would think a brand like Audemars Piguet would always be in high demand, but looks like it ain’t as much these days. Even though they still make the best of the best, and the Royal Oak design? Oh, honey, it’s still real fancy and something folks wanna get their hands on.
Now, what about the money side of things? Are these watches worth the price? Well, I can tell ya, from what I’ve heard, Audemars Piguet does a pretty good job at keepin’ the value of their watches up. In fact, they hold their value better than a lotta other brands, though not as much as Rolex or Patek Philippe. Those two are at the top of the game when it comes to keeping their price steady. But still, if ya buy an Audemars Piguet, ya won’t lose too much money if ya decide to sell it later on. Ain’t that good to know?
But, don’t go thinkin’ these watches are just all about lookin’ pretty. No, no, they got a rich history behind ’em! Audemars Piguet’s been around for a long time, making these watches with such fine craftsmanship, it’s like they put all their heart into it. They don’t just make any ol’ watch; they make some of the most sought-after pieces in the whole world! And they don’t make ’em by the dozen either. That’s part of why they cost so much. They keep the production limited, and that just makes folks wanna buy ‘em even more. Makes ‘em feel special, y’know?
Now, if ya are lucky enough to get yourself one of these watches, you might be wonderin’ about the prices. Well, some of these Royal Oak models can cost ya over S$60,000! That’s a lotta money for most folks, but there are some models that start at a bit lower, like around S$32,000 for the Selfwinding Chronograph 38. It’s still a lot, but for a fancy watch like that, it’s expected. I reckon it’s a bit like buying a fancy car, except this one you wear on your wrist.
Now, I ain’t just here talkin’ ’bout the watches, I’m also hearin’ some chatter ‘bout the people who work for Audemars Piguet. Seems like they ain’t doin’ too bad for themselves. I saw on one of those fancy websites, Glassdoor, where they mentioned that folks working as sales associates in Singapore make a decent bit of money. Not a whole lot, mind ya, but it’s enough to get by, I reckon. They also say these employees might get bonuses, so there’s a little extra there. Ain’t that nice?
And speaking of Singapore, did you know they just reopened their flagship boutique at Liat Towers? Oh yes, they’ve been workin’ on it for months, and now it’s all set up and lookin’ brand new. I reckon it’s the best place if you want to see these beautiful watches up close. You get to try them on, look at the different styles, and who knows? Maybe you’ll find the one that fits you just right.
So, all in all, if you’re lookin’ to buy a watch that’ll last you for years, keep its value, and make you feel like a million bucks, then Audemars Piguet might be the one for you. But remember, it ain’t cheap! And if you can’t quite afford it upfront, you can always use that payment plan thing. But be careful, don’t get too carried away. A good watch is a long-term investment, and it’s always nice to know ya got somethin’ that’s gonna hold its value in the future.
