It seems that the demand for Rolex replica watches has decreased slightly recently. I suppose the reason is that autumn is coming. Along with it, watch lovers are looking for a more classic and traditional spirit, leaving the vibrant and dynamic spirit of Rolex replicas for the summer period.
Many readers of our blog ask us which of the 2 remarkable watchmaking brands is more reputable: Audemars Piguet or Breguet? Turns out that many replica hobbyists rely on the brand’s prestige when they choose a replica. And I can understand why. When you wear a replica watch on your hand, you want the people around you to appreciate your choice, even if it’s just an imitation. As such, watch lovers want an imitation of the brand that enjoys a stronger image, as this adds some value to the replica watch they wear.
To be honest…
It is difficult to compare these 2 fabulous manufacturers. Both left a remarkable footprint in horological history. However, I have a moral obligation to answer this question in order to somehow help the readers to make a favorable decision. As such, today’s article is dedicated to the 2 game changers. We will mainly cover the part of branding awareness and less about the specifics of replica watches. After all, the quality of the replica watches in our catalog surpasses that of any other store, with all modesty. Respectively, I will try to help you with the brand of the replica more than with its model. In the end, the model depends more on personal preferences.
With this introductory note, let’s quickly go through the most important distinctive aspects. I assume that you will find details that will make you decide in favor of one or another brand for your next replica watch. As for the models, you can write us the imitation that comforts you the most and we at AAAReplica will do our best to offer it to you in its best version.
Breguet or Audemars Piguet replica watch?
Some brands are very popular among the general public. They usually offer watches at a reasonable price and are quite functional for daily needs. However, the high society of seasoned watch lovers will probably know little about these watchmakers. That’s because they don’t produce out-of-the-ordinary timepieces.
On the other hand, some brands amaze even the most capricious watch critics. These brands are able to produce mechanisms and designs that are hard to imagine. Of course, these pieces cost a fortune but include I themselves, instead, horology in the true sense of the word.
Well, both Breguet and Audemars Piguet belong to the second category. Any model of both of them is instantly recognizable and extremely high-appreciated. This is because the 2 are skilled craftsmen in bringing watchmaking and science together. Both have different voices and signatures. But both share the same ambition to remain faithful to traditional horology. For this reason, the question “Which of them is better?” must be seen in different contexts and from different perspectives. We will discuss these perspectives in the following passages. As such, you will identify which one is closer to your heart from the perspective that interests you more.
Which one has a longer history?
If we talk from the perspective of history, Breguet gains ground a little as it started its activity a century earlier than Audemars Piguet. This means that Breguet has a century more expertise and knowledge. It appeared in 1775 while its competitor – in 1875. However, we must note that Audemars Piguet knew which designers and engineers to work with in order to quickly gain prestige and an impeccable reputation.
Which of them enjoys greater fame?
I’m afraid that in this aspect, both brands share, more or less, the same position. According to various surveys and ratings, it turns out that Breguet is in the 6th place in the popularity ranking. On the other hand, its counterpart, that is, Audemars Piguet, is 7th in the same ranking, being right behind its rival. Even if the brands are close to each other, we have to accept that Breguet still enjoys the victory. Probably the extra century played in its favor.
Which one offers more expensive watches?
A curious thing happens with the pricing policy of both brands. Audemars Piguet proposes the most affordable watch (if we can call it “affordable”) at the approximate price of $23,000. On the other hand, the entry-level price of Breguet watches is $11,800, which is way more affordable comparatively.
On the other side of the coin, Audemars Piguet’s most expensive and technically valuable piece is about $1.1 million, which sounds both astonishing and surprising. However, you will be even more surprised to know that Breguet’s most expensive timepiece reaches the price of $10 million. It is about the famous and complex Marie-Antoinette model whose creation lasted around 45 years.
With this in mind, the Breguet price range is somehow wider compared to Audemars Piguet. At the same time, even the most “simple” AP watches represent true aesthetic and engineering art once they start at $23,000.
Whose reputation is more prestigious?
The Marie-Antoinette watch, as you may have guessed, was dedicated to the Queen of France. And the watch was not the only model that was specially created for great historical personalities. Breguet stood out through fabulous time-telling works created for historical leaders and notorious personalities of the respective period.
On the other hand, Audemars Piguet is somehow closer to contemporary times thanks to its more versatile spirit. In terms of prestige, it is part of the horological Holy Trinity, which means it is as reputable as Patek Philippe and Vacheron Constantin. The brand is often associated with celebrities from cinematography, sports, and TV. LeBron James, Michael Schumacher, Juan Carlos I, Kim Kardashian, as well as Arnold Schwarzenegger among others, are the ones who promote the reputation of this masterful watchmaking brand.
Bottom line
This article concludes that both brands have a shiny and highly-appreciated reputation. Both of them have accumulated sufficient expertise in horology and both have demonstrated this through numerous models and collections. Even if there are some differences in certain aspects, we cannot deny the fact that the 2 are part of those who changed the vector of horology through their creations.
With these in mind, rest assured that no matter which brand you choose for your next replica watch, you cannot make the wrong choice. A Breguet or an Audemars Piguet replica watch will speak equally about your refined taste in horology.
