Independent dealers since 2009
We buy, sell and source Rolex, Audemars Piguet and Patek Philippe — and nothing else. A narrow focus is what lets us price to the reference, spot a redialled dial across a table, and tell you when the watch you want is the wrong one.
The cabinet
A selection from stock. Everything here is in our possession today.
In stock
Factory sticker intact on the caseback, white lacquer dial, Cerachrom bezel. Card dated 06/2021, stamped by an authorised dealer in Lucerne. Outer box, hangtag and both links present.
In stock
Mark I orange hand, matte black dial with no fading to the printing. Case retains its original chamfers; lug holes drilled through. Serviced 2024, timing within −2/+4 seconds a day.
In stock
The 2023 novelty dial with interlocking emoji motifs and a day aperture that reads a word rather than a weekday. Divisive, and already difficult to find. President bracelet, concealed Crownclasp.
In stock
Full calendar with moonphase and leap-year indication, all on a 4.0mm automatic base. Gold tapisserie dial with no lacquer crazing. Serviced by AP Geneva in 2023; extract from the archives on file.
In stock
The original Genta Nautilus, two-piece case with the hinge at nine o'clock and the horizontally embossed blue dial. Case unpolished with the brushing intact across the top of the bracelet. Extract from the archives confirming case and movement numbers.
In stock
One of 500. The Advanced Research series carries a silicon Spiromax balance spring and a compliant steel mechanism for the second time zone, visible through an aperture in the dial. Full set.
Our houses
Specialising in three maisons rather than thirty is a decision about depth, not scale.
Geneva, 1905
The benchmark for a reason. Chronometric reliability, a case architecture nobody has improved on, and a secondary market deep enough to price to the reference and dial variant.
Le Brassus, 1875
The house that made steel cost more than gold. Gérald Genta's 1972 Royal Oak remains the most consequential watch design of the last century, and the finishing still justifies it.
Geneva, 1839
Independent, family-held, and the only maison whose archive will certify a watch made before anyone working there today was born. The finishing is the argument.
Authentication
A watch can pass a visual inspection, carry a convincing card, and still be wrong. So we do not stop at the dial. Every watch is opened, the movement photographed and its serial checked against the case, the rate measured in six positions, and the case dimensions taken with a micrometer to see whether it has been polished away.
What comes back to you is a condition report with the raw photographs attached — including the parts that are not flattering. If a bezel insert is a service replacement or a crown is a later part, it will say so, and the price will already reflect it.
Sourcing
Most of what we sell never reaches a public listing. Here is the process when you ask us to find something.
Tell us the reference, the dial, the year and the condition you will accept. If you only know roughly what you want, that is a normal place to start.
We work our own network of collectors, dealers and estates. Most searches close inside three weeks; a specific dial variant can take a season.
Case measured and photographed under raking light, movement opened, timing run on the Witschi. You see the report and the raw images before you decide.
Wire or escrow, insured and fully tracked door to door. Fourteen days to return anything that does not match its report.
Journal
Audemars Piguet retired the 2121 in 2022. We look at what that has done to 15202 pricing, and why the 39mm case is the part buyers should actually be arguing about.
Lug chamfers, caseback engraving depth and drilled lug holes tell you more about a vintage Rolex's history than any paperwork that came with it.
Patek Philippe will confirm what left the factory and when. It will not tell you whether the dial in front of you is the one that left with it.
