Setting trends in immersive retail, the new opening, which visually combines the brand's Swiss origins with Macao's heritage and culture, is expected to attract collectors from around the world.
Grant Chum, CEO and President of Sands China Ltd. said, “We are delighted that Shoppes at Four Seasons, a pre-eminent luxury shopping destination, is now home to Greater China's largest, and Macao's first, AP House.

AP House Macau – A Journey of Discovery
Designed in collaboration with Hong Kong architecture and design studio LI&Co, Greater China's largest AP House takes the innovative concept to the next level. The sophisticated haven of tranquillity allows visitors to escape the bustling city as they go on a voyage through the Audemars Piguet universe, immersed in an atmosphere of heritage, modernity, and the natural environment. Guests can enjoy a cocktail at the bar or at the stylish outdoor terrace, be hosted at a dinner party in the light-filled dining room or relax in one of two lounge areas while admiring contemporary artworks from local galleries. The art of crafting watches is also celebrated with a curated exhibition of exceptional pieces and a Masterclass room for enthusiasts to expand their knowledge.
Unlike anything Macao has seen in the timepiece market, AP House Macau deepens the relationship between connoisseurs and the brand through shared moments that showcase Audemars Piguet's fine timepieces, its expertise, and its place in society.
