How much do AP first-copy watches cost in India compared to the original Audemars Piguet?

The price difference between AP first-copy watches and genuine Audemars Piguet watches in India is extremely huge. The AP watches first copy, or Audemars Piguet watches first copy, are easily available online on various Indian websites for around ₹3,000 to ₹15,000, depending on the model and the quality of materials used. Some premium replica sellers list them for about ₹7,500 to ₹10,000, but even these are just high-grade imitations made with cheap stainless steel and basic Japanese or Chinese movements. On the other hand, the original Audemars Piguet watches cost several lakhs to crores of rupees in India. For example, luxury models like the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak or Royal Oak Offshore can start from around ₹20–30 lakhs and go up to ₹2 crore or more, depending on the materials, design, and complications. This massive price gap clearly shows the difference in craftsmanship, technology, and brand value. While AP first copy watches only try to imitate the luxurious look at a fraction of the cost, they lack the authenticity, precision, and long-term reliability of a genuine Audemars Piguet. So, even though first copies may appear attractive due to their low price, they cannot match the performance, durability, or prestige of the original AP watches.
