Watch auction bidding and private sourcing

Bidding on a watch at auction? Send us the sale and lot, and we help you research it, set a total budget and source alternatives privately.

Instacoins Concierge is a personal shopping and luxury sourcing service. For auction clients, we prepare the bid with you and, in parallel, search our network of trusted dealers and private collections for comparable watches, so you have a second route if the lot goes beyond your limit.

What we can arrange

• Research of recent results for the same reference
• Condition report requests and questions on service history and originality
• A total budget, including buyer's premium, taxes, shipping and insurance
• Help registering and arranging a commission or telephone bid
• Private sourcing of comparable watches, with insured delivery

What to tell us

• Auction house, sale and lot number, or the reference you want
• Condition and set you require
• Your total budget

Good to know

• We are independent and not affiliated with any auction house or watch brand. Bids are placed in your name under each auction house's terms. Private availability, condition and price are confirmed before you commit.
• A concierge fee may apply, confirmed before we start.
• Pay in fiat or crypto, including stablecoins such as USDC, for anything we source.
