Gold and platinum cases, all dial materials. Assessed with particular attention to dial integrity and movement originality.
All professional and classic references assessed by specialist. Vintage and modern examples welcomed.
A Rolex Submariner Ref. 5513 with a matte dial and original unpolished case is worth far more than the same reference with a later glossy dial or a polished case. An "exotic" Daytona dial — now known as a Paul Newman — can be worth ten times a standard dial on the same case.
This is why generalist buyers — and even some general jewellers who handle watches — consistently undervalue Rolex collections. The value is in the details of each reference. Our specialists know these details and assess accordingly.
Do not polish the cases. Do not have the watches serviced. Do not replace straps or bracelets. Original condition — even if worn — is consistently worth more than restored condition to the collector market. Let our specialists assess the pieces as they are.
Yes. We buy Rolex collections of any size — from 2 watches to 50+. Every reference is assessed individually by our horological specialists. You receive a written valuation per watch explaining what we are offering and why, based on current secondary market prices.
All Rolex references: Submariner (ref. 5513, 1680, 16610, 116610), GMT-Master and GMT-Master II, Datejust, Day-Date, Daytona (ref. 6239, 6241, 6263, 16520, 116500), Explorer, Milgauss, Sea-Dweller, Oyster Perpetual, Air-King, Cellini, and vintage dress watches. We assess all eras from 1930s pieces to modern pre-owned.
Yes — but not always in the direction you might expect. An unpolished Rolex with original case finishing showing honest wear is typically worth significantly more than a polished example of the same reference. Non-working Rolex watches still have value and are assessed on their individual merits.
