You can now trade Audemars Piguet on VIVER

One of the most frequently asked questions since the launch of VIVER has been this. “Does VIVER only offer Rolex or do you have other brands?” The reason we started our watch resale platform with Rolex was not simply because Rolex accounts for most of the domestic watch transactions. Above all, It was necessary to prepare for the most important aspects of the watch industry such as authentication, Overhaul, And polishing that support the pre-owned market.

As many of you who have shown interest in VIVER have requested, We have been continuously preparing to enable transactions of other brands. The first addition to our expanding collection is Audemars Piguet.

If someone asks about the origin of modern luxury sports watches, It is impossible to leave out the Royal Oak by Audemars Piguet. The Royal Oak, Introduced by the influential designer Gerald Genta in 1971, Appeared with a beautiful octagonal bezel and a perfectly balanced bracelet.

At the time of its release, Switzerland was facing a difficult period as the watch industry was suffering from mass unemployment due to the influx of quartz watches from Japan. While other manufacturers struggled to find a breakthrough, Audemars Piguet became the first among high-end mechanical watchmakers to launch a sports watch made of stainless steel, Showcasing both innovative design and technology. Despite being a sports watch with water resistance up to 50 meters, It boasts a slim and comfortable case, Excellent wearability, And outstanding durability against external shocks.
