Our Luxury Watch Sale this week saw a huge demand for Rolex watches which flew above their auction estimates.
The desire for the premium watch brand is not slowing down, as a result bidders flocked to register their interest in the timepieces.
A private collection of Rolexes which included Daytona and Submariner watches were particularly coveted.
The Prices
A white gold Oyster Perpetual Cosmograph Daytona fetched a full price of £31,900 against an estimate of £14,000 – £20,000. Another stainless steel Oyster Cosmograph Daytona sold for a full price of £30,624 against an estimate of £18,000 – £26,000.
A stainless steel Oyster Perpetual Submariner fetched £19,140 (including fees) against an estimate of £8,000 – £12,000.
Many other watches sold in the tens of thousands as the independent, so the 145-year-old auction house is continuing to host remarkable sales.
Around 300 watches were offered on Monday 16th August. The auction saw over £500,000 worth of luxury watches go under the hammer. It was one of the most popular watch auctions in Birmingham this year.
