When the watch you want is not here

Waiting-list references

Current Patek Philippe, Rolex, Audemars Piguet and Richard Mille that never reach a public list, found through dealers and collectors we have known for years.

Private purchase

A specific watch bought quietly, without a marketplace listing or an auction paddle. We negotiate for you and keep your name out of it.

Checked before you pay

Authenticity, service history, original papers and the seller’s standing are all verified before money changes hands.

How we work

A watch at this level is rarely bought by walking into a boutique. The reference you want may be allocated, discontinued or in a private collection, and getting to it depends on who will take your call.

Anything listed on this page can be offered now. Everything else starts with a brief: the reference, the condition you will accept and your budget. We agree the terms in writing, then search the dealers and collectors we work with across the UAE, Hong Kong, Africa and the United States.

Before anything changes hands, authenticity, service history, papers and the seller are all verified. See how private sourcing works.

Questions

Can I see a watch before buying?

Yes. Any watch we offer can be seen privately in London, by appointment, with its papers to hand. Ask for a viewing when you enquire.

Can I buy a watch you have listed?

Yes. Send an enquiry about the piece and we will reply with its full condition, papers and terms. Prices are given on request because they move with the market.

Can you find a watch that is not listed?

Most of our watch work is exactly that. Tell us the reference, dial and year you want, and we will search the dealers and collectors we work with.

Can you help with a waiting-list watch?

Often, yes. We find pre-owned and unworn pieces through established dealers and collectors. We never claim to get around a manufacturer’s allocation rules.

How do you check a watch is genuine?

Every watch is checked for authenticity, service history and original documents, and every seller is vetted, before a sale goes ahead. Where it helps, we bring in independent specialists.

Where do you operate?

From London, with dealer and collector relationships across the UAE, Hong Kong, Africa and the United States. We take enquiries from anywhere.
