Choose your selling path
Sell directly or consign for more.
Choose direct sale when speed and certainty matter most, or consignment when you are prepared to wait for a retail buyer in pursuit of a potentially higher return.
Consignment
We market the watch to retail buyers on your behalf. It may return more, but you wait for the right buyer before you are paid.

Patek Philippe watches we consider
Our team reviews Nautilus, Aquanaut, Calatrava and Complications, along with other current, discontinued and vintage references where the watch is suitable for resale.
What affects the value?
For Patek Philippe, we pay particular attention to reference-specific rarity, provenance, originality, complications and completeness. We also consider the exact reference and configuration, originality, visible wear, function, current buyer demand and recent comparable sales. Original box, warranty card or papers, spare links, receipts and service records are useful when available, but they are not mandatory for an initial assessment.
What to include
Use the watch-specific form below and upload clear photographs of the dial, case, caseback, crown, bezel, crystal, bracelet or strap, clasp, reference or serial details where safe to share, and any visible wear or damage. State whether the watch is running, when it was last serviced and whether any parts appear to have been replaced or modified.
Melbourne and Australia-wide
You can visit 428E Toorak Road, Toorak during opening hours without an appointment. Approved consignors elsewhere in Australia can follow the prepaid insured shipping instructions supplied after accepting a quote. Accepted watches are inspected and authenticated, photographed professionally and described with their actual condition and inclusions before being offered to buyers.
How a direct sale works
Your offer comes first. Once the watch arrives, authentication is completed and payment is initiated within 24 hours.
Direct-sale questions
What is the difference between direct sale and consignment?
With a direct sale, Lost Designer gives you an instant offer before you send the watch. Once it arrives, we authenticate it and initiate payment within 24 hours, provided it matches the submitted details and passes authentication. With consignment, we market it for you and payment follows once it sells. Consignment can take longer but may achieve a potentially higher return.
When and how is payment made?
The offer is given before you send the watch. Within 24 hours of receiving it, we authenticate the watch and initiate payment using the agreed payment method, provided it matches the submitted details and passes authentication. Bank or payment-network processing times can vary.
What if the watch differs from the submitted details?
The instant offer is based on the details and photographs supplied. If inspection identifies a materially different reference, condition, authenticity issue or missing inclusions, we will contact you before proceeding. You are not required to proceed with any revised offer.
What if the watch does not pass authentication?
Lost Designer cannot purchase or consign a watch that does not pass authentication. Any authentication or return charges shown in the current selling terms may apply.
Are there fees?
The consignment commission is shown on this page. A direct-sale price is the amount offered for the watch rather than a consignment sale price less commission. We confirm the applicable terms before you choose either pathway.

Complete the watch form with clear photographs and any reference, box, papers, spare links, receipt or service information you have. We usually respond within one business day.
How does Patek Philippe watch consignment work?
After you accept the estimate, we inspect and authenticate the watch, prepare its photography and listing, and market it to our established luxury audience. Payment follows the completed sale and settlement process.
Do I need the original box and papers?
No. We can assess a watch without them, although an original box, warranty card or papers, spare links, receipts and service documents may support value and buyer confidence.

We record the condition of the dial, case, bezel, crystal, crown, caseback, bracelet or strap and clasp, plus wear, damage, function and any apparent modifications. The listing clearly discloses the recorded condition.
How is a Patek Philippe watch authenticated?
We combine detailed in-house inspection with independent LegitApp authentication. Every accepted watch includes a physical authenticity certificate for the buyer.
Is shipping insured?
Yes. Approved consignors can use prepaid insured shipping within Australia, and sold watches are sent to buyers with insured delivery.
