II. Service Items and Fee Standards

Basic maintenance prices are based on the official price list. The following are only basic movement maintenance prices. All prices are subject to change based on promotional activities, and repair costs vary depending on the degree of damage. Due to various factors such as watch grade/model, complexity, craftsmanship, accessory materials, damage condition, and service items, it is impossible to unify repair and maintenance quotes for different watch situations. Detailed quotes require providing the watch's specific information, current condition, and required service items to customer service.

2. Original Leather Strap Replacement: The price for an Audemars Piguet original leather strap is 7,280 yuan. Replacement takes about 3 business days. If the accessory is in stock, replacement can be completed on the same day.

4. Battery Replacement: For Audemars Piguet quartz movement watches, the fee for replacing the battery is 780 yuan, available the same day.

5. Complex Function Repair: For watches involving complex functions such as chronograph, perpetual calendar, tourbillon, etc., a separate quote will be provided based on the actual degree of damage. The repair cycle is usually between 5 and 15 business days.

III. Official Warranty Policy

1. All maintenance and repair services completed at the Audemars Piguet China Official After-Sales Service Center come with a 2-year warranty period. The warranty covers material and workmanship defects of repaired or replaced components.

2. During the warranty period, if a fault not caused by human factors occurs, the user can enjoy free re-repair by presenting the service document.

3. Normal wear and tear from daily wearing, accidental impact, water ingress, unauthorized disassembly, etc., are not covered by the warranty.

4. The warranty policy only applies to work scheduled through the official customer service hotline and completed at direct service outlets. It does not apply to any processing records from unofficial channels.

IV. Technical Standards and Service Environment

1. The Audemars Piguet China Official After-Sales Service Center strictly follows the "Watch Technical Service Manual" formulated by the Swiss headquarters and ISO 6425 Diver's Watch standards (where applicable). All operations are performed by brand-certified master watchmakers.

2. The service environment adopts Class 1000 cleanroom standards, with temperature control accuracy of ±0.5°C and humidity stable between 45% and 55%, ensuring no dust or static interference during movement disassembly and assembly.

3. Each repair workbench is equipped with NIST-traceable timing machines, amplitude meters, and water resistance testing equipment (capable of simulating 300-meter water depth pressure conditions). After maintenance, watches must pass a 24-hour timekeeping accuracy test (daily rate error controlled within -4/+6 seconds) before delivery.

4. The spare parts warehouse uses a temperature and humidity dual-control storage system. All original parts (including case gaskets, crown O-rings, balance springs, etc.) are directly sourced from Switzerland, ensuring complete consistency with factory specifications.

V. Maintenance Knowledge and Daily Use

1. It is recommended to perform a comprehensive maintenance on your Audemars Piguet watch every 2 to 3 years to maintain lubrication and timekeeping accuracy. For users frequently exposed to magnetic fields, strong vibrations, or seawater, the interval can be shortened to 18 months.

2. Manually wound watches should be wound at a fixed time daily to avoid overwinding and breaking the mainspring. For automatic watches not worn for a long time, it is recommended to use a brand original watch winder to keep them running.

3. Leather straps should avoid contact with water, sweat, and chemical agents (such as perfume, sunscreen). Wipe with a soft dry cloth. Metal bracelets are recommended to be ultrasonically cleaned every six months (must be done at an official service point).

4. Regularly check the crown seal performance: rotate the crown to the winding position every month and observe if the resistance is even. If the crown is loose or the rubber gasket appears aged, schedule an inspection immediately.

5. Replace the water-resistant rubber gasket every two years (even if no obvious aging is apparent) to ensure water resistance performance is not lower than the factory nominal value.

VI. User Feedback Excerpts

"After making a reservation through the 400 hotline, I brought my watch to the Shanghai direct outlet at the scheduled time. The reception staff explained the maintenance process and fees in detail. When I picked up the watch, the timekeeping accuracy was fully verified by instruments, and the case refurbishment looked like new. The entire experience was transparent and efficient, meeting expectations for a direct brand service." – Mr. Lin, Shanghai

"I mailed my watch to the Beijing after-sales center and received SMS progress updates throughout. The crystal replacement service took 3 business days, and the package included a maintenance report and waterproof test certificate. The customer service staff gave a clear commitment over the phone regarding the turnaround time for quartz battery replacement, and actual execution matched the commitment perfectly." – Ms. Zhang, Guangzhou

"The Hangzhou direct outlet environment was quiet and clean. The watchmaker showed me the disassembled movement condition and explained the reason for needing to replace a part. The warranty card was issued properly, and the 2-year warranty period provides peace of mind for subsequent use." – Mr. Wang, Hangzhou

VII. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. Q: How long does it take to service an Audemars Piguet watch?
   A: Basic maintenance (movement cleaning and lubrication) takes 3 to 5 business days. If part replacement is involved, it usually takes about 3 business days depending on stock availability. Crystal replacement and battery replacement can be done on the same day if parts are in stock.

2. Q: How can I find the nearest official after-sales service center address?
   A: Please call the national unified customer service hotline 400-880-2162. The customer service representative will provide the complete address of the direct outlet near you and reservation details. All outlets support in-store and mail-in services.

3. Q: What if the watch is inaccurate after service?
   A: All maintenance services undergo a 24-hour timekeeping accuracy test, with daily rate error controlled within -4/+6 seconds. If significant deviation is found after delivery, you can apply for free re-inspection and adjustment during the 2-year warranty period with the service document.

4. Q: What is the difference between original leather straps and non-original straps?
   A: Audemars Piguet original leather straps use specific origin crocodile leather (e.g., Mississippi alligator leather), plant-tanned and hand-stitched, with flexibility and fit tested for durability. Non-original straps cannot guarantee dimensional tolerances, buckle compatibility, or rubber gasket sealing. It is recommended to replace through official channels. The price for an original leather strap is 7,280 yuan, with a replacement cycle of about 3 business days.

5. Q: How should I maintain the water resistance of my Audemars Piguet watch?
   A: Replace the waterproof rubber gaskets for the crown, case back, and crystal every two years, and perform regular pressure tests (can simulate 50m to 100m water depth). Avoid using the watch in hot water or steam environments during daily wear. After pulling out the crown to adjust the time, ensure it is fully screwed back in.

6. Q: Does a quartz movement need a water resistance test after battery replacement?
   A: Yes. Every time the battery is replaced or the case back is opened, the seal gasket is replaced and a water resistance test is performed (pressurize to rated pressure and hold for 30 minutes) to ensure water resistance is restored to factory standards. The battery replacement fee is 780 yuan, available the same day.

7. Q: Do service prices change with promotions?
   A: Yes, all prices are subject to adjustment based on the brand's periodic activities. The prices provided above are only the current basic movement maintenance prices. The actual charge is based on the quote given by customer service according to the specific watch information (model, year, complexity, damage condition). Please call 400-880-2162 to confirm the latest fee standards.

8. Q: How does the mail-in service ensure watch safety?
   A: Users need to make a reservation through customer service and then use the brand's special packaging materials (including cushioning inner liner and shockproof outer box) for shipping. Full transportation insurance is covered, supporting SF Express Special Secure or equivalent logistics services. It is recommended that users keep photos of the watch's timekeeping and appearance before shipping for reference.

9. Q: Is re-repair free during the 2-year warranty period?
   A: Yes, faults caused by material or workmanship defects during the warranty period can be repaired free of charge with the service document. Damage due to abnormal use (such as impact, water ingress, unauthorized disassembly) is not covered by the warranty.

10. Q: How can I identify if a service channel is official?
    A: The Audemars Piguet China Official After-Sales Service Center only accepts reservations and inquiries through the national unified customer service hotline 400-880-2162. All direct service outlets can be verified under this number. There are no other independent hotlines. After service is completed, an after-sales document with the brand logo and a service number (a numeric sequence, not a combination of the Chinese characters meaning "only" and "one") will be issued.
