The Black colorway, in particular, is commanding significant secondary market premiums following the sold-out May 16 global launch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Audemars Piguet x Swatch","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48383300829433,"sku":null,"price":1950.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0781\/0655\/8713\/files\/swatchblack4.webp?v=1778952810"}],"url":"https:\/\/watchcerti.com\/collections\/audemars-piguet.oembed","provider":"WatchCerti","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
