In the world of ultra-luxury timepieces, the origin of the diamonds is paramount. A factory diamond AP means that every single gemstone was selected, cut, and set in-house at the Audemars Piguet factory in Le Brassus, Switzerland. The brand's gemologists use only the highest-grade diamonds (typically IF clarity, D-G color), ensuring perfect consistency and maximum fire. This meticulous process guarantees the watch's integrity, provenance, and investment value, a standard that aftermarket or custom pieces can never replicate.
AP Diamond Price
The cost of an AP with diamonds is a reflection of its artistry, complexity, and rarity. In our collection, prices go from USD $18,000 to USD $1,400,000 depending on the model, materials, and the extent of the diamond setting. The diamond AP watch price represents a significant investment in a tangible and beautiful asset.
Your journey into the world of Audemars Piguet's gem-setting artistry doesn't end here. For the ultimate statement of brilliance, explore our curated selection of fully diamond-paved timepieces.

A 'factory-set' diamond watch is a timepiece where the diamonds were selected and set by Audemars Piguet at their own factory during the watch's original production. This is critically important because it guarantees the quality, cut, and clarity of the diamonds, as well as the perfection of the setting. Factory-set pieces are far more valuable and desirable to collectors than watches with aftermarket (custom) diamonds. We only sell factory-set diamond watches.
The Audemars Piguet diamond watch price varies greatly. A stainless steel Royal Oak with a factory diamond bezel might start around $40,000 - $50,000. A solid rose or white gold model with diamonds will be significantly higher, and a fully "iced out" or pavé model can easily exceed several hundred thousand dollars. The price depends on the model, materials, and the carat weight of the diamonds.
"Baguette" refers to a specific cut of diamond that is long and rectangular. An "Audemar baguette" watch (a common search term) is an ultra-luxurious model where the bezel or dial is set with these custom-cut baguette diamonds. This type of setting is far more complex and expensive than using standard round brilliant diamonds, signifying a top-tier piece.
While less common than white diamonds, Audemars Piguet has produced limited edition and special pieces featuring black diamonds. A black diamond AP offers a very unique, stealthy, and modern aesthetic. These are typically rare and highly sought after by collectors looking for something distinctive.
Moissanite is a lab-grown gemstone that mimics a diamond but is not the same. A "moissanite AP watch" or "replica" is a counterfeit product. These watches have no inherent value, are made with inferior materials, and will not be serviced by the brand. Investing in a real diamond AP watch from a trusted dealer guarantees you are acquiring a genuine, valuable asset that will last for generations.

I recently purchased an unworn Rolex Day Date from Luxury Watches USA. Tanya was quick to respond to all of my questions during the purchase process and was a pleasure to work with. Pricing was very fair and competitive. The watch was delivered to me via overnight shipping and arrived in perfect condition. I will definitely buy from them again and strongly recommend them to anyone looking to purchase a watch.
