Imagine stepping into a space that embodies the very soul of luxury, tailored to perfection. Situated in the heart of Singapore, Audemars Piguet has brought yet another masterpiece to life. Housed within the iconic walls of Raffles Hotel’s historic Bar and Billiard Room, the new AP House is more than just an experience; it’s an invitation to immerse yourself in the world of fine craftsmanship, innovation and curated style.

The moment you walk into this stunning 1,000-square-metre space, which is Southeast Asia’s first AP House, you immediately sense that this is no ordinary flagship. It is truly the embodiment of awe-inspiring. The soaring ceilings, those elegant arches. Then the seamless fusion of Audemars Piguet’s Jura-based heritage with Singapore's Garden City identity... everything about this place whispers sophistication. Muted greens and organic materials like wood and stone evoke the lushness of Le Brassus (AP’s hometown) while celebrating Singapore’s natural beauty. Towering Norfolk pine trees and locally sourced rain tree installations are subtle yet striking nods to the rich cultural and natural narratives of both regions.

Suffice to say, this is the kind of space you want to linger longer in. Stefanie Ng, chief executive officer of Audemars Piguet South-East Asia, assures, “Designed to feel like a refined home, this inviting venue provides a haven where watch enthusiasts, newcomers, travellers, and anyone seeking a distinctive experience can gather whether to discuss timepieces or simply enjoy the moment. Our doors are always open.” Why, thank you.
