In immaculate overall condition, the watch comes with a 2019 service receipt, extract from the archive certification, and travel box from Audemars Piguet.

Our approach is simple: we only buy watches we would be proud to own ourselves. Every piece is selected on its individual merits, with an uncompromising focus on originality, condition, provenance and overall quality. We have no interest in filling our inventory for the sake of it; if an example doesn’t meet our expectations, we leave it behind. Whether it is an important vintage reference, a rare modern complication or an exceptional everyday piece, we search for the best examples we can find and buy only what genuinely excites us. Taste and quality come before volume, every time.

That same standard extends to authentication. Every watch we acquire is subjected to rigorous examination, with the case, dial, movement, components, serial and reference details carefully assessed for authenticity, originality and consistency with the period of manufacture. Where appropriate, provenance and accompanying documentation are scrutinised with equal care. In this business, reputation is everything, and ours is attached to every watch we sell. We would rather walk away from a watch and a deal than offer something we are not completely comfortable putting our name behind. When a watch enters our collection, it is there because we believe it deserves to be.
