Service your Audemars Piguet at Malalan
Audemars Piguet’s watchmaking foundations were laid on this rare savoir-faire, which dates back to bygone days and has been handed down from generation to generation. Since 1875, these craftspeople have practiced their skills at the highest level, building on tradition while continuously pushing further the limits of their crafts to create timepieces imbued with the Manufacture’s savoir-faire and forward-thinking spirit.
The technical complexity of Audemars Piguet calibres drives their system of training and certification. We perform periodical check-ups and quick services in our workshops and endeavour to continuously develop the skills of our technical staff in Ljubljana.
Each Audemars Piguet watch marks the beginning of a relationship dedicated to exclusive, personalised services.
All watchmakers and polishers certified by Audemars Piguet undergo ongoing training and must obtain periodic accreditation of their technical skills. We undertake to use only genuine parts.

Malalan Service centre can help you with the official documentation of your watch, providing 2 types of documents. Each Audemars Piguet watch is recorded by its unique case and movement numbers. This document certifies that these numbers appear in their records, but does not warranty the authenticity of the watch.
Experts at Malalan Watchmaking workshop in Ljubljana will carefully examine the watch, its materials and components to certify that they are authentic. This document contains identity information of the watch and actual pictures.
Your watch undergoes a rigorous technical, functional and aesthetic inspection for five, up to twelve, days. Water resistance is checked to insure it will last for at least a 2-year period.
