First off, lemme just say, APs are *expensive*. Like, seriously, “maybe I should just buy a small island instead” expensive. And then you add diamonds? Fuggedaboutit! We’re talking a whole different league of baller status.
I mean, just looking at what I’ve seen online, you’re potentially looking at anywhere from, like, $18,000 all the way up to… *wait for it*… ONE POINT FOUR MILLION DOLLARS! Yeah, you read that right. A million and a half bucks for a watch. My car cost less than a used bicycle compared to that!
Why the crazy range? Well, it depends on a bunch of factors. The specific model, obviously. A Royal Oak is gonna be different than, say, a Millenary. Then there’s the condition. Is it brand spankin’ new? Or has it been gently caressed by the sweaty wrist of a celebrity for the past decade? Big difference. And, of course, the *quality* and *quantity* of the diamonds. Are we talking tiny little sprinkle diamonds, or are we talking blinding, ice-cold rocks that could probably fund a small country? HUGE difference.
I saw one article that mentioned APs costing around $35k on average, but honestly, with diamonds involved, I’m betting that average skews way, way higher. Plus, you gotta factor in where you’re buying it from. Are you buying it from an authorized dealer? From some dude on Chrono24? The price is gonna fluctuate. And let’s not even get started on the potential for fakes. You gotta be super careful, ya know? Do your homework!
