Well, let me tell ya somethin’ ’bout these fancy watches, the Audemars Piguet ones. People say they cost a pretty penny, and from what I hear, they ain’t wrong. Heard some fella talkin’ ’bout them, sayin’ they’re even pricier than them Rolex things. Don’t know much ’bout Rolex, but if they’re cheaper than these Audemars, well, that tells ya somethin’, don’t it?
Now, they got all sorts of names for these watches. Somethin’ ’bout Royal Oak, Jules Audemars… sounds like a bunch of fancy talk to me. But the bottom line is, they cost a whole heap of money. The cheapest one, they say, is some little thing, steel and all, called the Royal Oak Quartz. Costs more than my old truck, probably! Seventeen thousand and somethin’ dollars, they say. Imagine that! Could buy a whole lotta beans with that kinda money.
- And then they got these bigger ones, automatic they call ’em. Costs even more! Twenty-five thousand and up, up, up! My head starts spinnin’ just thinkin’ ’bout it.
- Another kind, the Jules Audemars… well, those are somethin’ else. Starts at eighteen thousand for a thin one, and goes all the way up to near a million! Now, who in their right mind would spend that much on a watch? Must be for folks with more money than sense.
Seems like these watches, they hold their value, too. People buy ’em and sell ’em later, and they still get a good price. There’s this thing called the LuxPrice-Index, whatever that means, that tells ya how much they’re worth. Folks are always tradin’ ’em, buyin’ and sellin’. Even got places that sell used ones, with a warranty and all. Imagine that, buyin’ a used watch for thousands of dollars! But I guess if you got the money to spend, you can do what you want.
There’s this market thing, the WatchCharts Audemars Piguet Market Index, that shows how well these watches are doin’ on the sellin’ market. Folks keep track of the top 30 models, seein’ how much they’re worth. Must be a serious business, this watch tradin’. People are always lookin’ for a good deal, I reckon.
And they come in all sorts of conditions, too. Pre-owned, they call it. Means someone else had it before you. Like buyin’ a used car, I guess. But these watches, even used, they cost a fortune. Ship ’em with the mail, too, USPS First Class. Fancy watches goin’ through the mail, can you believe it?
Now, this Paris thing… I don’t know much ’bout that. But I heard these watches are somethin’ special there. Maybe they cost even more in Paris, who knows? Everything’s expensive in them big cities, ain’t it? But if you’re gonna spend a fortune on a watch, might as well get one from Paris, I suppose. Make it a real fancy affair.
Anyway, that’s all I know ’bout these Audemars Piguet watches. Fancy, expensive, and probably tell the time just like any other watch. But I guess if you got the money, and you wanna show off, you get yourself one of these. Me, I’ll stick with my old clock on the wall. Does the job just fine.
