Why trust us to sell your vintage watch

Because your watch has a history that deserves the right treatment

Selling a vintage watch is not like selling a modern piece. Factors such as year of manufacture, rarity, coherence between components, dial condition, previous servicing or even the type of tritium aging come into play.

At AP Watches we analyze your piece as an experienced collector would, studying the watch, its context and its potential in depth. This is what sets us apart. We are sought by those who value:

  • Honest advice without pressure.
  • Evaluations with real market criteria.
  • A professional channel to reach the right buyer.

Every vintage watch has a story

We know how to read it and explain it
The vintage market is full of opportunities, but also uncertainty. There are pieces that have doubled their value in just a few years, and others that lose appeal if they are not well presented or documented. Our job is to know what to highlight, what to avoid and how to position your watch so it doesn't get lost among thousands of generic offers. We don't sell "old watches": we manage pieces with character, history and real potential.

FAQ's

What vintage watches do you buy or accept on consignment?
We work with high-end timepieces with historical or collectible value. Rolex, Patek Philippe, Cartier, Blancpain, Omega, Universal Genève and other brands with recognized heritage.
What if my watch doesn't have papers or original case?
We evaluate it equally, but it will always be better to have documentation or traceability. With vintage watches, the absence of papers is often understandable if there's coherence.
How does condition affect valuation?
It's key. A heavily polished watch, with changed parts or aggressive restorations can lose value. On the other hand, a watch with original well-preserved patina can have great appeal for collectors.
Do you examine the watch before putting it up for sale?
Yes, we verify it in our workshop. Depending on its condition, we can suggest adjustments or simply proceed with its commercialization as it is.
What are the advantages of consignment sale?
It allows reaching the best possible value, especially with special pieces. You retain ownership until it sells, and we manage everything.
How long does the whole process take?
Between 24h and 72h for a direct sale. In consignment, it will depend on the type of piece and its demand.
What security guarantees do I have?
All our operations are backed by contract and insurance policy. Additionally, we only work with specialized courier services and protect every step of the process. Furthermore, your personal data will be protected with advanced security protocols. Your privacy and trust are our priority. We will not contact you without your consent.
How to package my watch for shipping?
Use a rigid and resistant box. If you keep the original case, place it in a slightly larger external box (such as a shoebox) and add padding material to prevent movement. If you don't have a case, wrap the watch with bubble wrap or foam and place it inside a rigid box. Make sure there's no internal movement by filling with padding material. Seal it with strong adhesive tape. We provide the shipping label and manage insured collection along with a purchase promise contract prior to shipping. You only need to package it according to these instructions.
Can I speak with someone before deciding?
Of course. We are here to help you. We will assist you by phone or email with maximum closeness, professionalism and without obligation.
