What is a buyer's premium at a watch auction?

It's a percentage the auction house adds to the hammer price, set out in its conditions of sale. You pay the hammer price plus the premium, and sales tax or shipping can apply on top, so plan your bid around the total.

Are auction estimates the real value of a watch?

They're the specialists' guide to likely selling prices, not a formal valuation. Desirable lots often beat the high estimate, and others sell below the low one or don't sell at all if bidding doesn't reach the reserve.

How do I sell my watch through an auction house?

Send photographs and details to the watch department for an estimate. If you consign, you'll sign an agreement covering commission, fees and a reserve, and the watch is catalogued for a suitable sale, usually weeks to months away.
