[Audemars Piguet] Expanded handling of "Royal Oak"!!

The economic downturn that began with the coronavirus shock has been hit by a global price surge (inflation). Audemars Piguet, the topic of this article, is no exception, having revised its list price five times since 2022 (increases: two times in 2022, three times in 2023).

Now that the luxury watch market is becoming more active, Audemars Piguet 's signature model , the Royal Oak , is seeing a huge increase in customers seeking it, as demand far exceeds supply, despite the headwind of rising list prices.

So this time, we are going to reveal the maximum delivery amount when using our strength, the "consignment sales" service , under the title " Strengthening our handling of Audemars Piguet's Royal Oak. " We will offer you an attractive price, so if you own a Royal Oak, please read to the end and feel free to contact us.

First, let me give you a brief explanation of " consignment sales ."

" Deposit sales " is a system that utilizes the sales power and excellent customer data that Commit Ginza has cultivated since its founding.

❶ Use our excellent customer data and sales power to find buyers. ❷ Once we find a buyer, we purchase the watch and make payment.

This is a highly recommended selling method, as you can receive a larger amount than if you were to sell your items at a regular "purchase" rate.

Usually, when a store “purchases” a watch,

If you buy it at this price, it will definitely sell!
parable Even if it doesn't sell, we can manage somehow

⇨⇨⇨ In short, you will never lose out !!

We assume a minimum price. From that minimum price, we deduct various expenses such as rent and labor costs, as well as profits, and present the final purchase price to the customer. Of course, this is only natural, as we are not volunteers. The key point here is the phrase " even if it doesn't sell ." The biggest risk for the "store/company" is having the item remain as inventory. It can be said that presenting an "amount = low appraisal value" that avoids that risk is unavoidable.

However!!! If you use Commit Ginza's " holding sales ",

We have mentioned above the advantages of consignment sales, but of course, where there are advantages, there are also disadvantages.

I have honestly told you about the disadvantages, but the reason why it has been so well received and you don't feel those disadvantages is because

① The sales price will be set with the advice of an appraiser who is well versed in global market prices !
②Sales speed that doesn't make you feel any disadvantages!
3) Astonishing success rate!
④Selling after maintenance!

These are the four points. I will explain them step by step.

① The sales price will be set with the advice of an appraiser who is well versed in global market prices!

When selling a watch (or appraising it for an appraiser), a decision must be made taking into consideration a variety of factors, including knowledge of the watch itself, domestic and international situations, market price, and fluctuations therein.

Our appraisers are

・Check the selling prices of domestic competitors every day
・Check luxury watch sales sites worldwide every day
- Participate in monthly auctions held by major domestic auction companies and collect information on the results
- Participate in auctions held by major overseas auction companies and collect information on the results

In this way, we are constantly updating our information and making tireless efforts to determine the "fair price". Although overseas travel has been restricted for the past two or three years due to the influence of COVID-19, we have previously visited overseas auctions and seen high-end watches that are said to be first-class products from all over the world. (We resumed these auctions in June 2023) I'm a little biased, but I don't think there are many appraisers who have made such efforts. And our appraisers, who have as much knowledge and experience as any other store, take into account the possibility of selling and the price, and decide the selling price after consulting directly with the customer. This is the true meaning of the word "maximize" mentioned above.

Of course, there are also many people who just want to consult with us. Please feel free to contact us with any questions you may have.

②Sales speed that doesn't make you feel any disadvantages!

Although it varies by brand and model,

When it comes to high-priced items like luxury watches, it is generally said that it takes several months to several years to complete the sale, but in our store, we sell them in about one month, and many of our items are sold on the same day. I mentioned earlier that one disadvantage is that it takes a certain amount of time to complete the sale , but we have many customers who think, ``This speed is great!'' and leave it with us.

⇩Please see our recent track record for the speed of high-value item sales!!⇩

The biggest factor that has allowed us to achieve this speed is the support of our many customers. As a result, as of the end of October 2023, our store has received high praise from Google, with over 1,550 reviews and a rating of 4.9.

⇩Check out the Google reviews of Commit Ginza here⇩

In addition, our store also disseminates information through various social media outlets such as YouTube, LINE, and Instagram, as well as sales channels such as Yahoo Shopping, Yahoo Auctions, and Chrono 24, in an effort to maximize sales of our customers' precious watches.

3) Astonishing success rate!

Other stores also have similar selling methods, and it is very common for the items to be returned without being sold. There are many reasons for this, but the main one is that the store does not properly grasp the market situation (= customer needs) and sets the selling price too high. In order to collect as many watches as possible, they sell at a price higher than the market price (above the market price), and the transaction "fails." This may sound harsh, but if the transaction does not go through, it is meaningless.

On the other hand, what is our success rate?

There is no general data available, so it is difficult to make a comparison, but even without making a comparison, you can see that over 85% of sales are concluded, which is a very high figure. After all, maximizing the amount received by the customer - that is, setting the correct market value for the watch - is extremely important.

④Selling after maintenance!

We often see stores that simply "sell on your behalf," but our store takes the time to sell the watches, and after rigorous verification of their authenticity, we inspect them before selling them, polish them, and perform maintenance such as overhauls. Of course, we also provide after-sales support, guarantees, and consultations on subsequent maintenance. Once we find someone willing to purchase your precious watch, we sell it to them.

Now, we would like to reveal the amount you will receive when you place an order for the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak!

When it was introduced in 1972, the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak made a huge impact on the watch industry, and even now, half a century later, it is still very popular. While inheriting its traditional design, it continues to evolve to suit the times, leading the luxury watch industry at the forefront. As the luxury watch market gradually grows, more and more people are attracted to it, and demand will increase more than ever before.

This time, we have presented prices mainly for current models or models close to the current models, but of course we are also strengthening our handling of other "Royal Oak" models. If you have a model that is not listed, please feel free to contact us.
