Seller's Story
Our mission is that we do not sell watches, but build relationships and by doing so we try to be your best online partner for the purchase of exclusive pre-owned wristwatches. Please visit our feedback, where you can read if we succeed in our mission.
Together with my wife, who has an amazing eye for detail, we run our business for many years now.
Premium quality and flawless personal service are a prerequisite to be in business and that is what we are known for.
On Catawiki only an extensive series of detailed photos and information about the wristwatch in question can justify an online decision by the buyer about an investment of often thousands of euros. Many of these buyers return to us for their second- or third purchase and many of them have built up their collection through our network. Our wristwatches have been fully checked for authenticity and function and preferably come with the original box, documents and information on provenance. As a result, our wristwatches retain their value and can be a good long-term investment.
To make our wristwatches accessible to everyone, we offer most wristwatches without reserve. We are known for our "No Reserve" vintage Rolex auctions. Our Catawiki Rolex buyers represent countries from all over the world.
As far as we can judge, the way we present our wristwatches is unique on Catawiki. It is the only way to do it right for you, the buyer. Buyers often do not realize that they pay an additional 21% custom taxes, when they buy from a seller from Turkey or Japan. As we are EU based, this extra cost is not applicable when the buyer is an EU resident.
