Independent Rolex, Omega and Luxury Watch Valuation
A luxury watch is rarely just a watch. It's an investment, an inheritance, a marker of a moment. Our job is to make sure its value is properly understood and properly protected.
Every Prestige watch valuation is produced by qualified valuers with decades of expertise across the major luxury brands — Rolex, Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet, Cartier, IWC, Omega and beyond. We value contemporary, vintage and discontinued references, and our reports are accepted by every major UK insurer. Submit yours online, visit our Hatton Garden office, or book a home visit.
What's Included in Every Watch Valuation
Every watch valuation we issue contains the same level of detail. No shortcuts.

-
Case material, dial details, bezel and bracelet specification
-
Serial number and identifying marks
-
Photographs of the watch and all accompanying documentation (box, papers, service records)
-
Current replacement value, based on live market data
-
Insurer-accepted formatting and methodology
Watch Valuation Online — From £65
Get your watch valuation online in a few simple steps. Upload clear photographs of your timepiece — the dial, the caseback, the movement where accessible, and any original documentation — and our valuers will return a fully certified valuation report within one to four working days.
There's no need to part with your watch. The fee is £65 per item. The certificate is emailed directly to you, formatted to insurer-accepted standards.
Valuations are also routinely required for probate and HMRC, family division during divorce, private sale, and inheritance planning. A professional valuation is the document that lets you act with confidence in any of these situations.
Fixed Fees, Not Percentages
Many watch valuers charge a percentage of the item's value. For a single Rolex or Patek Philippe, that can run to hundreds of pounds — and often involves leaving your watch with them for weeks. We don't work that way.
Fixed fee per item
We charge a simple fixed fee per item, agreed before you commit.
Keep your watch
Your jewellery never needs to leave your possession overnight.
Truly independent
Because the fee is fixed, the valuation is genuinely independent of the value being assigned.
Trusted by Every Major UK Insurer
Our valuation reports are accepted by Hiscox, Aviva, Allianz, Chubb, AIG and every other major UK insurer. We work directly with brokers, claims specialists and private client advisors across the country — and have done for over 35 years.
Revaluation
Gold prices move. Diamond markets shift. Luxury watch values change constantly. An out-of-date valuation can leave you significantly underinsured at exactly the moment you can least afford it.
Once a Prestige valuation is on file, we can update the replacement value on a biannual basis without needing to see the item again. The original valuation contains everything we need. Revaluation costs from £25 per item, and with your approval we'll notify your insurer of the updated figure directly. No further appointments. No fuss.

Direct insurer notification

Watch Authentication
Concerned your watch may not be genuine? Before we issue a valuation, we can carry out a separate watch authentication service to verify the piece. Particularly recommended for pre-owned and private-purchase Rolex, Patek Philippe and Audemars Piguet timepieces.
Frequently asked questions
We value the full range of luxury watch brands. Cartier (Tank, Santos, Ballon Bleu). Patek Philippe (Nautilus, Calatrava, Aquanaut, Grand Complications).

Vintage, discontinued and independent brands welcome. If you're unsure whether we cover your specific reference, contact us. In over 35 years we've valued almost every brand in the market.
Independent Omega watch valuation for Speedmaster, Seamaster, Constellation, De Ville and vintage references. Our valuers assess Omega timepieces against current retail and pre-owned market data, including limited editions, anniversary models and Moonwatch variants.
Whether your Omega is a daily-worn modern piece or a vintage Speedmaster Professional with provenance, the report includes full technical detail and current replacement value.
Rolex valuations are our most requested service. We value every Rolex reference — from current Submariner, Daytona, GMT-Master and Datejust models, through to vintage Day-Date, Sea-Dweller, Explorer and discontinued Zenith Daytona references.
Whether you're insuring a recent purchase or documenting a vintage piece for probate, our valuers maintain a live database of current Rolex market prices. That puts us in a strong position to advise on movements in value over time — particularly important for the references where prices have moved significantly in recent years.
From £65 per item online, £85 at our Hatton Garden office, or £195 per hour for a home visit. Richard Mille, Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet, Vacheron Constantin, MB&F and Jacob & Co are £150 per item.
Yes. Our online watch valuation service uses high-resolution photographs and accompanying documentation. It's accepted by most major UK insurers for insurance scheduling.
Online valuations are returned within one to four working days. Office valuations are produced while you wait — usually within the same day of visit for a single piece.
Yes. Vintage Rolex, Omega, Patek Philippe and other heritage brands are a core part of our work. Vintage references often require specialist knowledge and current market context — both of which are at the heart of how we operate.
Helpful but not essential. Watches without papers can still be valued. The report will note the absence of accompanying documentation, which can affect market value but does not affect our ability to issue a valuation.
