Audemars Piguet x Arnold Schwarzenegger Watches: The Long History

Arnold Schwarzenegger and Audemars Piguet have had a long partnership that includes 11 different collaboration watches. In fact, Arnold has the most collaborative pieces in the long history of Audemars Piguet. One of the most popular collaborations has been the Audemars Piguet All-Stars Watch collection. All-Stars after school adventures is a non-profit that Arnold set up to help underprivileged kids have a place to go after school.

Auto All-Star Off Shore in 48mm in Rose Gold

Just looking at this watch you can tell that you need to be a bodybuilder to wear it on your wrist. At an impressive 48mm and milled from solid Rose Gold, this watch weights a ton!

Retail on this Audemars Piguet was $83,100.

Audemars Piguet Jules Audemars All Stars Perpetual Calendar Chronograph

This is a very complicated perpetual calendar with a chronograph and made in a limited edition of only 100 pieces.

The bezel and case came in two options: rose gold ($111,000) and white gold ($116,000).

Even for how complicated this watch is, you can pick it up today for around 30-40% off the original retail prices. The reason for this is that the Jules Audemars watches just are not as popular as AP’s Royal Oak.

Audemars Piguet Jules Audemars All-Stars Dual Time Automatic Watch

Right off the bat, this watch was a flop and was trading at a discount to retail almost immediately.

This watch originally retailed for around $85,000. Because it just isn’t that popular of a style, you can pick one up for around $25,000.

Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Off Shore End of Days Watch

Originally retailed in the low teen ’s, at one point price of this watch came up to over $60,000.

The reason for this is that one collector on the East Coast started buying up all of the End of Day’s watches that he could in order to corner the market. So while the price kept climbing, it was really just false inflation. Despite this, it’s still is one of the most popular AP x Arnold watches.

Today, this watch is selling for around the $20,000 range. This is still very impressive considering the watch retailed in the low teen’s.

Audemars Piguet Jules Audemars Double X 6th Day Chronograph, in Titanium + Platinum with Black Dial

This piece was created for the premiere of the movie 6th Day.

At the event, you could make a $29,000 donation and get one of these watches as a thank you.

This watch never was available to the public nor has it been actively traded. The few that I have seen today are in the price range of $30,000 to $35,000.

Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore T3 “Terminator” Limited Edition Watch in Titanium w/ a Black Dial

The most popular Arnold x AP collaboration piece, the T3 watch, was a limited edition of 1,000 pieces.

It originally retailed for $19,000 and at one point was trading at over $50,000!

Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Arnold Schwarzenegger The Legacy Chronograph

Because of the long collaboration history between Arnold and AP, they decided to do a watch that was all about Arnold.

The end result is the Royal Oak Offshore Legacy Chronograph. This beautiful watch comes complete with a collectors box and signature on the back of the case.

Audemars Piguet Governor’s Dual Time Limited Steel Watch

This watch was produced as an “invite to purchase” collection.

There were just 25 pieces made and the retail price was around $45,000.

Today, you can find this watch on the secondary market for $12,000 to $20,000.

This huge drop in price goes to show that not every limited edition is worth a ton. In fact, brands are so overdoing the limited editions that most collectors don’t even pay attention to if it is a limited edition or not.

Not all limited editions are worth a ton.
