Frequently Asked Questions
How much is a rose gold AP skeleton?
The price for an Audemars Piguet Skeleton in rose gold is substantial and varies by reference. A Royal Oak Selfwinding Openworked (ref. 15407OR) typically starts around $200,000 on the secondary market, while the highly coveted Double Balance Wheel Openworked (ref. 15468OR) can trade for $250,000 to $400,000 or more.
What is a 'skeleton' or 'openworked' watch?
A skeleton or openworked watch is a mechanical timepiece in which the non-essential metal of the movement has been carefully cut away, leaving a minimalist "skeleton" framework. This allows the owner to view the intricate inner workings of the watch from both the front and back, showcasing the watchmaker's skill.
Why is the AP Skeleton so expensive?
The high cost is due to three factors: 1) The intense, highly skilled manual labor required to skeletonize and hand-finish the movement components can take hundreds of hours. 2) The use of precious materials like solid 18k rose gold. 3) Extreme global demand far exceeding the very limited annual production.
Is the AP Royal Oak Skeleton Rose Gold a good investment?
Yes, it is considered one of the premier investment-grade watches. Its combination of iconic design, brand prestige (Audemars Piguet is in the "Holy Trinity"), masterful craftsmanship, and extreme rarity ensures very strong value retention and significant potential for appreciation.
