Oakbury Watches: pre-owned luxury watches with in-house authentication

Oakbury Watches is a British company dedicated to buying and selling pre-owned and unworn luxury watches. Its catalogue focuses on pieces from Rolex, Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet, Omega, Cartier, Richard Mille, Breitling and IWC, among other brands. The firm sells watches at prices ranging from approximately £1,000 to over £250,000, according to its own presentation.

The company states that every watch is authenticated and inspected before being offered, a process it backs with what it calls The Oakbury Assurance. In addition to direct sales, it offers watch buying services from private individuals and part-exchange, with a clear, no-pressure valuation, it says.

Catalogue: Rolex and other leading brands

Oakbury Watches' catalogue includes Rolex models such as the GMT-Master II 126710BLRO "Pepsi" (2025, Jubilee dial, £21,000), the Oyster Perpetual 36 126000 Lavender (2025, £9,500), the Daytona 116506 (2022, platinum, £77,500), the Daytona 126500LN Panda (2026, £30,000), the Oyster Perpetual 41 134300 Pink (2026, £10,500), the GMT-Master II 126715CHNR "Rootbeer" (2025, rose gold, £40,000) and the Land-Dweller 40 127334 (2026, £20,000). Most of the listed pieces are automatic, presented as new or unworn and come with box and papers, with case diameters ranging from 36 to 41 mm.

Alongside Rolex, the company works with Audemars Piguet, Patek Philippe, Omega, Cartier, Richard Mille, Breitling and IWC. For watches not in its collection, it offers a personalised sourcing service through private networks and trusted partners, discreetly and anywhere in the UK.

Buying, selling and part-exchange services

Oakbury Watches buys watches directly from their owners or accepts them as part payment for another piece. The company describes this process as a clear, no-pressure valuation. It also offers expert advice on references, dials and documentation, and publishes buying guides as a starting point for clients.

Showrooms and personal service

The firm has private showrooms in Lichfield, London, Brighton and Liverpool, visited by invitation and appointment. According to its presentation, it can also bring watches to the client's home, a hotel suite or aboard a yacht. The company highlights that the client always deals with the same person from the first conversation to handover.

Origins and service philosophy

Oakbury Watches traces its origins to a gift: a grandfather who gave his watch to his 14-year-old grandson. That episode became a passion that today guides its approach to buying, selling and sourcing luxury watches for clients across the UK. The company insists on a warm, discreet and personal service, and that people come before pieces.
