Interview: We Ask Audemars Piguet Historian Michael Friedman To Walk Us Through The Best Vintage AP&
If there is one sub-sect of vintage watches that I believe is about to experience a renaissance of sorts, it's vintage Audemars Piguet. For years, I have admired the subtle elegance and incredible design found in early 20th century AP's. I believe them to be some of the most beautiful watches ever made, and based on our visit inside the vault of AP last summer, you guys agreed.There is simply so much to love in this category, and yet we simply don't hear much about it. Sure, there are way, way fewer vintage AP watches out there than any Patek, as we've mentioned, and that just makes them that much more appealing. This season, there are several fantastic vintage AP's coming up for sale, and because this manufacture is one of the few who has a publicly available historical expert, we thought it would be great to get brand historian Michael Friedman's own take on the vintage AP's coming up this weekend and next week in Geneva. That is what you'll find below

Buying from abroad - UK based
Has anyone here in the UK bought from a seller in the US or similar?There are a couple of fairly attractively priced Royal Oak Chronos in the For Sale section, I was keen to understand if there are any hidden charges etc in importing a watch?Any help much appreciated

Getting the Royal Oak Elephant
I'm close to finally getting the Royal Oak Elephant but have a few questions i'd like your input on since I'm not too familiar with AP watches.- Price i was quoted for a new watch is $18,411. Is that a good deal?- When will the new models come out? Or at least expected to come out?- Is it a good time to buy the ROO? Any other models you recommend for me to consider? Price range is the same.- Which model from the Royal Oak Offshore do you prefer and why?If it makes any difference, I'm around 6'4 200 pounds.
