Audemars Piguet White Gold Watches

Audemars Piguet White Gold Price

At Watch My Diamonds, white gold Audemars Piguet watches range from $134,742 to $687,000 across 5 priced listings.

White gold sits above stainless steel and below platinum in the Audemars Piguet hierarchy, and the spread on this page shows what moves a price inside that band: case size, whether the dial is openworked, and whether the bezel is factory gem-set. All five watches here are on matching 18k white gold bracelets and come with their original box and papers.

The jump from $315,000 to $680,811 is not a condition premium. It is the difference between a pre-owned openworked Royal Oak and the current-production Double Balance Wheel models, where the skeletonized movement is finished by hand and output is deliberately limited.

How to Identify White Gold From the Reference Number

Audemars Piguet encodes case material in the two letters immediately after the model number. It is the quickest way to confirm what a watch is actually made of, and it settles most of the confusion around Royal Oak listings:

So the 15412BC.TO.1220BC.01 is white gold, while a 15510ST.OO.1320ST.08 is steel — both are 41mm Royal Oaks that photograph almost identically, and one costs many times the other.

One trap is worth knowing. Only the first pair of letters describes the case. The 15412BC.SS.1220BC.02 on this page is solid white gold despite the SS sitting in the middle of the string; that segment does not encode case material, and the trailing 1220BC confirms a white gold bracelet. Read the reference from the front, not the middle.

A ZZ in the middle position marks a factory gem-set bezel. Two watches here carry it: the openworked 15412BC.ZZ.1220BC.01 and the 37mm 15551BC.ZZ.1356BC.01, whose bezel holds eighty brilliant-cut diamonds.

White Gold, Steel or Platinum

White gold and stainless steel look closer to each other than any other pairing in the Royal Oak catalog, which is why the reference code matters more here than it does with pink or yellow gold. In the metal the difference is obvious: an 18k white gold Royal Oak carries noticeably more weight on the wrist, and its polished bevels hold a deeper, wetter shine than steel takes.

Price separates them further. A steel Royal Oak is the accessible entry to the line, and our stainless steel Audemars Piguet collection starts far below anything on this page. Platinum sits at the other end — heavier still, rarer in production, and priced accordingly in the platinum Audemars Piguet selection. If you want precious metal that announces itself rather than hides, rose gold Audemars Piguet is the warmer alternative and the larger collection.

The Openworked 41mm Royal Oak in White Gold

Three of the five watches here are 41mm openworked Royal Oaks built on the 15412BC reference, each with a 50 meter water resistance rating, the octagonal case and a sapphire crystal front and back. Skeletonizing a movement means removing every part of the mainplate and bridges that does not do structural work, then finishing the exposed edges by hand — the reason these sit where they do on the price table.

The 15412BC.TO.1220BC.01 and the 15412BC.SS.1220BC.02 are both unworn Double Balance Wheel models. The 15412BC.ZZ.1220BC.01 is a pre-owned 2021 example with a factory diamond bezel at less than half their cost. More openworked pieces across every metal are in the skeleton Audemars Piguet collection.

White Gold at 37mm and 39mm

The 16202BC.OO.1240BC.02 is the entry point to this collection and, for many collectors, the most desirable shape in it. This is the 39mm “Jumbo” Extra-Thin — the direct descendant of the 1972 original — with a blue dial in solid white gold.

At 37mm, the 15551BC.ZZ.1356BC.01 pairs a smoky blue dial with eighty diamonds around the bezel and runs on calibre 5900. Related gem-set pieces across the brand sit in the Audemars Piguet diamond watch collection.

White Gold or White Dial?

These two get searched interchangeably and they describe different things. White gold is the metal of the case and bracelet. A white dial is the color of the face, and it turns up on Royal Oaks in steel, pink gold and yellow gold at least as often as in white gold.

None of the five watches on this page has a white dial — three are openworked and two are blue. If the face is what you are after rather than the metal, the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak white dial collection is the page you want. If you want the metal, you are already on it.

Buying a White Gold Audemars Piguet

All five watches here are sold with their original box and papers, and four of the five are unworn. Condition and production year are listed per watch rather than per reference, because a pre-owned 2021 example and a current-production piece of the same reference are priced very differently — the 15412BC openworked models on this page differ by more than $360,000 on exactly that basis.

Every piece is authenticated in house before it is listed. For the wider selection across all metals and complications, start at the Royal Oak collection or the full Audemars Piguet catalog.
