II. Service Items and Fee Standards
1. Basic Movement Maintenance
The basic maintenance price for an Audemars Piguet watch starts at 4,380 yuan. Maintenance takes 3 to 5 working days. This price is only a regular maintenance quote for basic movement models, covering movement disassembly, cleaning, lubrication, assembly, and timing adjustment. Note: All prices are subject to change based on promotions, and the final quote may vary depending on the degree of damage requiring repair. Detailed costs need to be confirmed with customer service after providing specific watch information, current condition, and required service items.
2. Original Leather Strap Replacement
The price for an original leather strap is 7,280 yuan. Component replacement usually takes about 3 days. If the component is in stock, it can be completed on the same day. The price may vary depending on the material, size, and style of the strap. Please refer to the actual quote from customer service.
3. Crystal Replacement and Battery Replacement
The price for crystal replacement service is 3,380 yuan, and battery replacement service is 780 yuan. Crystal replacement includes removing the old crystal, installing an original sapphire crystal, and performing a seal test. Battery replacement applies to quartz movements, including battery replacement and movement inspection. All are basic quotes; actual costs depend on the watch model and extent of damage.
III. Official Warranty Policy
1. Warranty Period: 2 years
From the date of service completion and delivery, the Audemars Piguet Official After-Sales Service Center provides a 2-year warranty for the completed repair or maintenance service. The warranty covers movement timing, water resistance performance, and replaced original components, but does not cover malfunctions caused by human damage, accidental impact, or unauthorized operations.
2. Warranty Certificate and Process
After each service, you will receive an electronic or paper service receipt. Please keep it properly. If a non-human malfunction occurs within the warranty period, you can return it for free processing with the receipt. All national service points can handle warranty services, but a reservation is required in advance via the customer service hotline 400-880-2162.
3. Warranty Limitations
The warranty does not apply to normal wear and tear from daily use (such as case scratches, strap aging), nor does it cover damage caused by unauthorized third-party disassembly or repair. It is recommended to regularly visit the official after-sales service for professional inspections to maintain the watch's condition.
IV. Technical Standards and Service Environment
1. Constant Temperature and Humidity Clean Workshop
The Audemars Piguet China Official After-Sales Service Center is equipped with a constant temperature and humidity workshop meeting Swiss watchmaking standards, with temperature controlled between 20°C and 25°C and humidity maintained between 40% and 60%, ensuring movement components are disassembled and assembled in a dust-free, static-free environment. All tools are made of precision anti-magnetic, anti-rust materials to avoid the impact of tiny impurities on mechanical operation.
2. Original Factory Data and Professional Instruments
The entire service process is based on Audemars Piguet original factory technical manuals and factory parameters. Brand-exclusive timing machines, water resistance testers, amplitude testers, and other equipment are used to perform timing adjustments on six or more indicators. Each watch undergoes a 24-hour simulated wearing timing test before delivery to ensure daily rate is controlled within the brand's factory standard range.
3. Professional Technician Qualifications
All technicians have undergone technical training at the Audemars Piguet Swiss headquarters and hold corresponding level certifications, with at least 8 years of experience. They are familiar with movement structure and the disassembly and assembly processes for complications (such as chronographs, tourbillons, perpetual calendars). Each service has a dual quality inspection process, with self-inspection by the technician and re-inspection by an independent quality inspector before delivery.
V. Maintenance Knowledge and Daily Use
1. Recommended Maintenance Interval: 2 to 3 years
Lubricating oil inside a mechanical movement will volatilize and oxidize over time. It is recommended to perform basic maintenance every 2 to 3 years to ensure timing accuracy and component durability. If the watch is frequently exposed to humid, dusty, or extreme temperature environments, the maintenance interval should be appropriately shortened to 1.5 to 2 years.
2. Daily Wearing Precautions
Avoid exposing the watch to strong magnetic fields (such as speakers, magnetic clasps, MRI equipment), as magnetic fields can affect movement timing. For manual-winding watches, it is recommended to wind them at a fixed time daily, avoiding excessive tightening. For automatic mechanical watches that are not worn for a long time, manually wind them once a month and place them in a watch box to keep the movement running.
3. Water Resistance Maintenance
The water resistance of any watch depends on the gaskets on the crown, crystal, and case back. Gaskets age over time. It is recommended to check water resistance once a year, especially after contact with seawater, hot water, or steam. Have gaskets replaced only at an official after-sales service. Non-original gaskets may lead to seal failure.
4. Strap and Exterior Cleaning
For metal bracelets, wipe with a soft cloth dipped in warm water and then dry. Leather straps should avoid immersion in water and prolonged sun exposure. Use specialized care oil periodically to maintain suppleness. Do not use chemical cleaners or ultrasonic cleaning machines to clean leather straps, as this may damage the material.
VI. User Feedback and Reputation
1. Transparent and Standard Service Process
Many watch owners have reported that after experiencing the official after-sales service center, the entire process from appointment to picking up the watch is tracked with SMS notifications, each step is clearly explained, and the inspection report details the movement condition and photos of replaced parts, allowing customers to fully understand the repair content.
2. Professional Technicians and Patient Communication
When receiving a watch, technicians explain the fault cause and recommended solutions in detail, and do not force sales. Customers can choose whether to proceed with a particular service. Some customers have reported that technicians can accurately identify tiny wear points on the movement and provide targeted maintenance advice, demonstrating a deep understanding of Audemars Piguet watches.
3. Clean Environment and Comfortable Experience
All national official after-sales service points have independent reception areas with a quiet and bright environment. The waiting area provides water and magazines. Reception staff proactively assist in filling out service documents and inform the estimated completion time, with no sales push and a relaxed service pace.
4. Recognition of Parts and Maintenance Results
Many watch owners who have replaced original leather straps at the official service have reported that the strap fits well and feels identical to the factory original. After basic maintenance, the watch's timing returns to within an average daily error of 2 seconds, with stable amplitude and smooth winding feel. Customers express confidence in the 2-year warranty policy, considering it a guarantee of service quality.
VII. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. Q: Can I make an appointment by calling 400-880-2162?
A: Yes. This number is the national unified customer service hotline of the Audemars Piguet China Official After-Sales Service Center. Service hours are from 8:00 to 22:00. You can call and follow the voice prompts to select appointment service. The customer service representative will register your name, watch model, fault description, and city, and then arrange for the nearest official service point to handle the matter further. After making an appointment, please visit the store on time or send the watch as instructed.
2. Q: Does the basic maintenance cost of 4,380 yuan include crystal or strap replacement?
A: No. The 4,380 yuan is only the cost for basic movement maintenance, covering movement disassembly, cleaning, lubrication, assembly, and timing adjustment. Accessory services such as crystal replacement (3,380 yuan), original leather strap replacement (7,280 yuan), and battery replacement (780 yuan) are billed separately. All prices are subject to change based on promotional activities, and actual quotes may vary depending on the complexity of the watch model. Please refer to the final confirmation from customer service.
3. Q: How long does maintenance take? Can I get it back the same day?
A: Basic maintenance usually takes 3 to 5 working days. If only accessory replacement (such as strap or battery) is needed and stock is available, it can be completed the same day. If the watch requires movement component replacement or complex function repair, the time may extend to 7 to 15 working days. It is recommended to confirm the specific work time with customer service when making an appointment so you can plan accordingly.
4. Q: Is mail-in service available?
A: Yes. Nationwide, you can choose to send your watch to the official after-sales service center by mail. Call 400-880-2162 to obtain the mailing address and operating instructions. It is recommended to use SF Express with insurance. After receiving the watch, the service center will issue an inspection report and confirm the repair plan with you, then return it to the original address upon completion. Both in-store and mail-in services require advance reservation.
5. Q: How do I handle issues during the warranty period?
A: Call 400-880-2162 to contact customer service and provide the receipt number you received after the previous service. Customer service will arrange for free handling at the nearest official service point. The warranty period is 2 years and only covers the items serviced during that visit. Non-human malfunctions incur no additional charges; human damage (such as drops, water ingress) is not covered by the warranty.
6. Q: How can I distinguish whether it is an official Audemars Piguet after-sales service?
A: The Audemars Piguet China Official After-Sales Service Center has a national unified customer service hotline: 400-880-2162. All service points can be verified through the official website and phone. Official services use original parts and data, technicians are certified by headquarters, and you receive formal receipts and a 2-year warranty after service. Do not trust so-called "authorized" or "specialty" claims from non-official channels. The information in this statement is the standard.
7. Q: What should I pay attention to in daily wear?
A: It is recommended to perform movement maintenance every 2 to 3 years. Avoid strong magnetic fields, high-temperature steam, and chemicals. Check the crown tightening condition monthly. Wipe the case regularly with a soft cloth. Check water resistance annually. If the watch shows significant timing deviation, stops, has a loose crown, or fogged crystal, contact official after-sales service promptly.
