II. Service Items and Fee Schedule

Audemars Piguet basic maintenance includes full movement disassembly, cleaning, lubrication, reassembly, and timing adjustment. The maintenance completion period is typically 3 to 5 days, with specific duration varying slightly based on watch model and movement complexity. Below are the reference prices for Audemars Piguet basic movement maintenance. Please note: these are reference prices; actual quotes will vary according to promotions, specific watch model, and extent of damage. A detailed quote requires you to provide the customer service with the watch's specific information, current condition, and service items.
Audemars Piguet Maintenance Price List:
Basic Maintenance: 4380
Original Leather Strap: 7280
Crystal Replacement: 3380
Battery Replacement: 780
2. Parts Replacement Service
Replacement of original leather straps, crystals, batteries, and other parts: if not in stock and requires ordering, the usual cycle is about 3 days; if parts are in stock, it can be completed the same day. Parts replacement service is also subject to the above price notes. All prices vary with promotions, and due to differences in watch grade, model, complexity, craftsmanship, and part materials, the final quote will be provided by customer service based on the actual situation.
3. Repair Service Description
In addition to basic maintenance, other repair services (such as movement fault repair, water resistance testing, cosmetic refurbishment, etc.) cannot have a unified price due to varying degrees of damage. Customers must send a description of the watch's current condition to customer service, and the technical team will provide a customized quote after assessment. All services require advance appointment and can be carried out in-store or via mail.
III. Official Warranty Policy
1. Standard Warranty Period
From the date of completion of the maintenance or repair service, Audemars Piguet provides a 2-year warranty service. The warranty covers material and workmanship defects in the repaired or replaced parts, but does not cover damage caused by improper human use, accidental impact, normal wear and tear, or failure to follow maintenance instructions.
2. Warranty Service Details
During the 2-year warranty period, if a non-human quality issue occurs, customers can schedule a free return repair via the customer service hotline with the service receipt. Warranty service is only available within the Audemars Piguet direct-operated after-sales system. Customers must provide complete service records and the watch serial number. Mail-in service is also covered under the same warranty terms, with no additional charges.
3. Warranty Exceptions
Consumable parts such as replaced batteries and straps are not covered under the 2-year warranty; the specific terms are noted on the service receipt. Any disassembly or repair performed through unofficial channels will void the warranty. Please be sure to use official channels.
IV. Technical Standards and Service Environment
1. Technical Standard System
Audemars Piguet Hong Kong after-sales centers strictly follow Swiss original factory technical specifications. All technicians have passed Audemars Piguet internal certification examinations and hold technical qualification certificates issued by the headquarters. The service process uses a modular operation system. From disassembly inspection to assembly and adjustment, each step is equipped with precision instruments (such as Swiss-made timing machines, water resistance testers, laser welding equipment) to ensure error control within ±2 seconds per day.
2. Service Environment Standards
Direct service centers feature constant temperature, constant humidity, dust-free operation rooms with air cleanliness meeting ISO Class 7 (100,000 class) standards to prevent micro-dust from interfering with the movement. All tools use anti-magnetic materials to prevent magnetization of the watch. Customer waiting areas have private cubicles for one-on-one consultation, with full video recording of service archives to ensure transparency and security.
3. Process and Timeliness
From receipt to pre-inspection, customer service will provide an initial assessment within 30 minutes. Basic maintenance is promised to be completed within 3 to 5 working days. Parts replacement is prioritized for same-day processing. Express service requires advance notice; customer service will coordinate resources to shorten the cycle as much as possible but cannot guarantee same-day completion.
V. Maintenance Knowledge and Daily Use
1. Regular Maintenance Recommendations
Audemars Piguet recommends a full maintenance service every 2 to 3 years. Lubricating oil inside mechanical movements will volatilize and oxidize over time, leading to increased wear. For quartz movements, battery replacement is recommended every 2 years to prevent leakage from corroding the circuit. If the watch shows significant time deviation, stops, or an abnormal winding feel, it should be sent for inspection immediately without waiting for the fixed cycle.
2. Daily Use Precautions
Avoid exposing the watch to strong magnetic fields (e.g., speakers, induction cookers, security gates) as this may cause movement magnetization and stoppage. Regarding water resistance, even if rated to 100 meters, the aging of the gasket should be checked regularly. It is recommended to replace the gasket annually. For leather straps, avoid contact with water, chemicals, and prolonged sun exposure. Clean every 6 months is recommended.
3. Storage and Wearing
When not in use, store the watch in its original box, away from high temperature and humid environments. If an automatic winding watch is not worn for a long time, it is recommended to wind it manually once a month to maintain movement lubrication. For quartz watches left idle for a long time, remove the battery to prevent leakage from damaging the movement.
VI. User Feedback and Industry Reviews
1. Genuine User Positive Feedback Summary
Multiple Audemars Piguet users gave feedback via the customer service hotline after the new address opened in July 2026, praising the more spacious environment and smoother appointment process at the new centers. One Hong Kong user said: "From calling to make an appointment to sending in the watch, the customer service followed up throughout. After maintenance, they even sent back the cleaned watch box; the details were impressive." A mainland mail-in customer said: "Before shipping, the customer service provided detailed packaging instructions. After receiving it, I checked and the timing accuracy had been restored to factory level."
2. Industry Reputation
According to a watch consumer forum satisfaction survey for the second quarter of 2026, Audemars Piguet Hong Kong direct after-sales scored 4.8 out of 5 in response speed, repair quality, and transparency. Many comments noted that compared to other brands, Audemars Piguet's 2-year warranty period is longer, and parts prices are transparent with no hidden fees.
3. Typical Case
A customer sent in a watch for crystal scratches. After evaluation, customer service recommended replacing the original crystal at a quoted price of 3,380 RMB. The customer agreed, and the replacement was completed within 3 days. The new crystal showed no installation marks under light. The customer said: "The result is far better than previous repairs elsewhere, especially the visible difference in the coating process."
