Financing process
Pay for your next Audemars Piguet watch in 12 to 60 months up to a purchase price of CHF 250,000. No down payment is required. You can conveniently make the monthly payments with your regular income. At the same time, you protect yourself against (retail) price inflation, as you fix the purchase price today. In the past, luxury brands usually increased the retail prices of watches once or twice a year. Gold models in particular have recently become significantly more expensive due to the rising price of gold.
Yourasset acts as the payment enabler, while customers pay fixed monthly installments to our banking partner.
Customers enter their information securely via the Yourasset platform and create their personal login account to track the entire transaction from start to finish until they receive their new watch.

Financing a Luxury Watch. A good idea?
It certainly depends on the customers situation but in general we say Yes, it is.
The option to finance a luxury watch or luxury product presents an additional payment method that is not widely available today.
Financing your watch allows the customer to align the purchase with their regular monthly income. If a car can be financed, why not a watch too?
Overall, a car most likely depreciates more in value over time and has higher maintenance costs. A luxury watch is a more sustainable and circular asset.
Therefore, we support and enable this additional payment option with a fully regulated approach. Customers now have the choice to pay their next watch monthly.
