Why sell to a direct buyer rather than a Milan auction or marketplace?
An auction can set a public record, but it means months of waiting, a seller’s commission, an uncertain reserve and full publicity; a marketplace exposes both the watch and the seller. As a direct buyer we compete on net payout and discretion — a firm price in 48 hours, funds in seven days, complete confidentiality. Independent references have re-rated sharply (2025 F.P. Journe lots averaged 176% of high estimate), and offers reflect real, recent Milan-relevant transactions.
Handover and payment in Milan
You choose how the watch changes hands in Milan: an in-person meeting with our specialist, or fully insured door-to-door collection. Payment is made only after inspection, and the piece is never listed publicly. The same terms apply worldwide — we buy from any city.
