Audemars Piguet is one of the most famous brands when it comes to luxurious wrist watches. The brand itself has rich history. It was a combined venture of two close friends. Jules Louis Audemars who was only 24 years old, and Edward Auguste Piguet who was only 22 years old formed the company in the year 1875. Both these friends shared a similar passion for watch making. They had a combined passion to build luxury watches. After much discussion and planning, Audemars and Piguet decided to launch their company in 1875. In the year 1881, they formed the Audemars Piguet & Cie., Manufacture d'Horlogerie. Both decided to split the responsibilities for a smooth execution of the watch making process. Audemars was responsible for technical direction while Piguet adopted the commercial activities. They both focused on manufacturing the top quality complication pocket watches. Many timepieces from this company have gained the collectors' admiration. The Royal Oak has gained special attention from watch enthusiasts.
