Buy the Swatch Royal Pop in Argentina

Buenos Aires, Córdoba, Rosario, Mendoza, the Swatch boutiques across Argentina did not receive any units of the Audemars Piguet x Swatch Royal Pop. The fourteen colorway pocket watch launched only in selected Swatch flagships in Europe, the United States, Japan, and a few Asian cities. South America was largely skipped, with only Mexico receiving allocation across the entire Americas region outside the United States. Royal Pop Resale Service is based in Vienna, queues at the European boutiques, and ships to Argentine addresses. Prices start from €1,100 ex-VAT and run to about €3,200 for the rarer colorways. We will be honest below about Argentine import realities.

Why you can't get one in Argentina.

Argentina is one of the trickier countries in Latin America for luxury imports, and Royal Pop allocation makes it worse. None of the Buenos Aires Swatch stores received units, and the same is true in Córdoba and Rosario. The closest stocking countries are Mexico, the United States, and the European flagships in Paris, Milan, Madrid, Barcelona, Zurich, and Geneva. For most Argentine buyers Europe is actually the most reliable source because European boutiques restock more often. We queue at those boutiques on launch days, buy at retail, and ship to your address in Argentina. You pay retail in EUR plus our service fee plus shipping. Argentine import duties and the local impuesto PAIS are paid by you separately.

How our sourcing service works.

If the colorway is in our Vienna inventory we ship the next business day. If it has to be sourced, we add you to the queue for the next European boutique drop and ship from Vienna once it arrives. Every order comes with the original Swatch box, the official papers, and a copy of the boutique receipt.

Shipping to Argentina.
