WRISTWATCHES
Some of our most remarkable prices realised have been for wristwatches, notably Rolex and Omega vintage and rare models. In 2017 we set the British auction record for a Rolex Submariner: then £230,000 hammer. We have gained crucial experience in this field, and have outreach which is key to finding clients worldwide. Buyers have been known to fly in from the U.A.E. and China to take part in person, when the right model appears in our saleroom.
