Luxury Watches

Authentic pre-owned luxury watches, every one inspected by our watchmakers and backed by the Luxury Bazaar guarantee

Luxury Bazaar has spent more than 20 years buying and selling fine watches. Our collection of pre-owned luxury watches spans more than 50 brands, from Rolex, Patek Philippe and Audemars Piguet to independents like F.P. Journe and H. Moser & Cie., with unworn pieces, modern favorites and hard-to-find vintage references side by side. Every watch is authenticated by our watchmakers and covered by a two-year Luxury Bazaar warranty.

Today's luxury watch buyers expect well-finished mechanical movements, precise timekeeping, beautiful dials and comfortable bracelets and straps. The high-end watch world has long since rebounded from the so-called "quartz crisis" of the 1970s and 1980s, and luxury watch brands now offer more sizes, colors, materials and complications than ever.

Why Buy a Pre-Owned Luxury Watch?

Buying pre-owned opens up the whole market. Many of the most wanted watches, like the Rolex Daytona, the Patek Philippe Nautilus and the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak, are hard to get new from a boutique. Pre-owned, you can choose from them today, along with references the brands no longer make.

• No waitlist. Buy the model you want now, not years from now.
• Discontinued and vintage references that boutiques no longer sell.
• Unworn and pre-owned watches side by side, each described honestly, so you can choose the condition that suits you.
• Box and papers listed clearly on every watch, so you know exactly what is included.

How We Authenticate Every Watch

Authenticity is the first thing serious buyers ask about, and it is the first thing we check. Every pre-owned watch goes through a detailed evaluation by our watchmakers before it is listed, and we do not sell replicas or watches with non-genuine parts. Where they exist, we share provenance and certifications so you can buy with full confidence.

Each watch is covered by our authenticity guarantee and a two-year Luxury Bazaar warranty, and more than 8,800 customer reviews speak to how we do business. Want a closer look before you buy? Our specialists are happy to send extra photos or answer questions about any watch.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes a watch a luxury watch?

A luxury watch combines a finely made, usually mechanical movement, high-end materials and careful hand finishing from a respected maker. Price is part of it too: brands in the $1,500 to $4,000 range (like Oris and Longines) are often called "affordable luxury," with luxury watches starting somewhere around $5,000. Luxury Bazaar generally focuses on watches above $5,000.

How can I tell if a luxury watch is fake?

Check the serial and reference numbers, engravings, dial printing, weight, bracelet and movement against the brand's specifications. Modern fakes can be very convincing, so the safest choice is to buy from a dealer whose watchmakers authenticate every watch and who guarantees it in writing. For a detailed checklist, read How to Spot a Fake Rolex.

Is it safe to buy a pre-owned luxury watch online?

Yes, as long as you buy from an established dealer. Look for a written authenticity guarantee, a warranty, a clear return policy and plenty of verified reviews. Every watch at Luxury Bazaar is authenticated by our watchmakers and comes with a two-year Luxury Bazaar warranty.

What does "box and papers" mean?

It means the watch comes with its original box and paperwork, such as the warranty card or certificate. A "full set" is often preferred by collectors and can matter when you sell or trade later. Every listing shows whether box and papers are included, and you can filter by both.

Which luxury watch brands hold their value best?

On the pre-owned market, Rolex, Patek Philippe and Audemars Piguet, especially steel sports models like the Submariner, Nautilus and Royal Oak, have historically been the most in demand. Prices do move with the market, so we always suggest buying the watch you will love wearing.

What warranty comes with my watch?

Every watch is covered by the Luxury Bazaar warranty, a two-year limited service warranty that starts when the watch ships or is collected in person.

Can I sell my watch to Luxury Bazaar?

Yes. We buy luxury watches from all the major brands and many independents. Tell us about your watch on our Sell Your Watch page and we will send you an offer, with no fees.
