AP Coverage
Service

The AP Coverage Service is a 2-year complimentary worldwide service offered under certain conditions by Audemars Piguet to end-customers. 

It is available for all Audemars Piguet watches initially acquired in 2022, 2023 and 2024 in our Audemars Piguet boutiques, AP Houses or via official retailers.

It protects AP Watches from the risk of burglary and robbery as well as functional damage, due to external factors occurring suddenly and unexpectedly, by offering the possibility, free of charge, to repair, refund or replace the watch, at the sole discretion of Audemars Piguet.

The following cases are excluded from the AP Coverage Service: 

Loss, simple theft (only burglary and robbery will be considered), normal wear and tear, aesthetic damage, damage resulting from air humidity or temperature influences, damage already covered by the AP International Sales Warranty, watches that have undergone third-party intervention or third-party modification, damage to a strap, voluntary damage, damage when the watch is in the possession of a third party, damage in connection with war and rebellion, confiscation by authorities, damage in relation to earthquakes, nuclear energy, radioactivity, chemical and biological weapons, damage in relation to cyber incidents, theft committed by persons living in the same household and fraud.

The granting of the AP Coverage Service by Audemars Piguet is neither automatic nor unconditional. Prior the occurrence of either the burglary or robbery as well as the damage, you shall activate the service in your name, for each eligible watch:

1. Log in / Create an AP Account on our website. If you bought your watch in an Audemars Piguet boutique or an AP House, we invite you to use the email address provided at the time of the purchase – your watch should automatically appear in your account.

2. Register your watch. If your watch does not appear on your AP Account, you can register it online.

3. Open your watch details and click on the link “Activate AP Coverage Service" to complete the form and upload the requested documents (the link will only appear for the watches eligible to the service). 

4. Audemars Piguet will review your request and get back to you to confirm the activation of your watch's AP Coverage Service.

Audemars Piguet reserves its right, at its sole discretion, to modify the prerequisites of the AP Coverage Service's activation at any time and in any manner.

The service is available for all AP watches initially acquired in 2022, 2023 and 2024, in Audemars Piguet’s boutiques, AP Houses or via official retailers. The watches initially acquired in 2022 will be covered until December 31, 2024, regardless of the date of purchase and for those acquired in 2023 and 2024 they will be covered for a period of 2 years from the date of the initial purchase.

You may still declare the burglary, robbery or damage up to 5 days after the end of the protection period as long as the service has been successfully activated within the protection period and the burglary, robbery or damage occurred during said period.

We invite you to visit your AP account to check the validity end-date of your watch's AP Coverage Service.

The AP Coverage Service is available for all Audemars Piguet watches acquired in 2022, 2023 and 2024, in our Audemars Piguet's boutiques, AP Houses or via Audemars Piguet official retailers, regardless of their value(1).

However, the Audemars Piguet watches acquired in 2024 will be refunded or replaced, at the discretion of Audemars Piguet, exclusively up to CHF 500'000.- (five hundred thousand Swiss francs), regardless of the value(1) of the watch. This restriction does not apply to the Audemars Piguet watches acquired in 2022 and 2023.

Generally, if the individual value(1) or the global value(1) of the timepiece(s) for which you are requesting the AP Coverage Service is superior to CHF 500'000.- (five hundred thousand Swiss francs), you can benefit from the service provided only that said watch(es) are at all time either (i) within your eye site or worn by yourself or (ii) deposited at a bank or in a locked safe.

An additional condition applies to the Rainbow Diamond set: a maximum of 2 (two) watches of the set may be worn by you at the same time. The other watches of the set shall be at all times deposited at a bank or in a locked safe.

You will be invited to fill in a repair request explaining the circumstances of the damage and the date of occurence.

Our Customer Service will examine your watch. If your watch is:

No. The AP Coverage Service is a complimentary service offered by Audemars Piguet and is subject to predefined conditions. It is at Audemars Piguet’s sole discretion to decide whether to grant the service and under which conditions.

AP International Sales Warranty warrants new Audemars Piguet watches against any manufacturing defects for a period of 2 years from the date of the initial purchase (automatically extended to 5 years if the watch was intially purchased within our internal distribution network). This warranty finds its basis in the law and covers manufacturing defects. 

By contrast, the AP Coverage Service is a complimentary service offered under certain conditions by Audemars Piguet which protects from the risks of burglary or robbery as well as functional damage. 

Damage already covered by the AP International Sales Warranty are excluded from the AP Coverage Service.

Please refer to the Audemars Piguet International Sales Warranty for more information. 

International Sales Warranty

The AP Coverage Service is not an insurance. It is a discretionary service offered by Audemars Piguet free of charge. Therefore, no premium or deductible are payable by end-customers.

Compared to other similar services, our AP Coverage Service goes beyond the coverage offered by all-risk insurance on the market. Moreover, a service of this extent is difficult, if not impossible, to obtain in certain countries under similar conditions from insurance providers.

The AP Coverage Service may be granted by means of facilitated procedures, via an accelerated announcement and processing procedure and dedicated contact persons. In addition, the qualifying conditions are simplified.

In the end, the watch announced as stolen will be recorded as such in our files, which will allow Audemars Piguet to identify it in the event of a return to our network.

The service is valid worldwide; either at home or when you travel. 

Yes. The AP Coverage Service must be activated separately for each one of your watches that are eligible to the service.

As the AP Coverage Service is nominative, the service shall be activated again by the new owner in case of change of owner, if the watch is eligible.

The personal data you provide at the time that you activate the AP Coverage Service or when you inform Audemars Piguet of the occurrence of a functional damage or a burglary or robbery, including the copy of your ID document when requested, will be processed for the purpose of the provision of the service.
