Suggested price & selling strategy
-
Retail/Dealer listing (e.g., specialist seller like MayfairWatch): £7,000 – £9,500 (example listing currently shows £7,575).
-
Auction (specialist jewelry / watches): Estimate guidance: $1,000–$5,000 for lots with modest estimates sometimes; however premium, provenance, and original box can push results much higher — comparable Tiffany Art Deco diamond watches have sold across a very wide range (roughly $2k–$30k+) depending on maker, diamond weight/quality, and provenance. Examples of auction listings and past sales show big variance.
-
Recommendation: If you want a quicker, guaranteed sale to a private buyer/dealer, list with a trusted specialist or high-end reseller and use a price around £7,500–£9,500. If you want to chase top market price (and you have provenance or the original box), consign to a specialist auction house (Bonhams, Sotheby’s, Christie’s, Toomey/Invaluable, LiveAuctioneers) with a conservative reserve.
