At Prestons we are passionate about pre-owned watches and offer a comprehensive selection alongside our part-exchange and buy-in services.
Our collection of pre-owned watches includes a comprehensive selection of models from Rolex, Patek Philippe and TUDOR alongside an eclectic range of watches from many other luxury Swiss brands. When considering the purchase of a pre-owned watch, there are several factors to bear in mind and this dedicated guide explores two of the most important considerations, provenance and condition.
There’s no one answer for what might be the right watch for you – everyone’s watch collecting journey takes its own path, no two collectors will want precisely the same thing. The beauty of pre-owned is that there are no restrictions on what is on offer, the challenge for us is building a compelling selection to choose from.
Each watch in our collection is prepared to a high standard, each supported with our industry-leading P36 warranty. In addition to a meticulously prepared watch, it’s important to have the proper provenance to accompany each timepiece. Where possible, we provide the watch with its original documentation and presentation box, plus any service documentation available. Our team check every watch against lost or stolen registers, ensuring you can buy with complete confidence.
Every single pre-owned watch we retail comes with our P36 three year warranty. This covers you for any mechanical defects that arise during this period, allowing you to purchase with peace of mind.
Our team really do hope that you will wear and enjoy your watch for many years to come, but should you change your mind in the future, we are able to offer support as well. Assuming that the watch has been properly maintained and has suffered no more than reasonable wear and tear, we will offer a minimum of 75% of the price you originally paid.
