What to bid

Rough bid guide

We could not match this listing to auction results for its exact reference, so there is no bid ladder. Here is a rough guide from what dealers ask for the 3 most similar watches instead.

The house estimates
USD 500 – 700
If it sells like the rest
about USD 460 hammer

Across the 19,181 auction results we track from 153 houses, watches that sold went for a median 0.92× their low estimate (the middle half 0.75–1.21×); unsold lots are not counted. Estimates are set by the house to draw bidders, so treat this as context, not a valuation.

Dealers askUSD 1,665median, 3 similar
Fees and import+34%on top of the hammer
Most to bidUSD 1,000hammer

Bought here, the buyer's premium, shipping, and import VAT and duty to Denmark add about 34% to the hammer. Stop at about USD 1,000 and you pay 20% less than a dealer's USD 1,665: a fair discount for buying without a dealer's warranty or return. A rough guide from the 3 most similar Rado Captain Cook listings (USD 1,570 – 2,034), not the same reference. Only 3 of them, so treat it as a very rough guide.

Before you bidfive checks
  • The seller guarantees in writing that the watch is genuine and takes it back if it is not.
  • The photos show the case back, clasp, and the serial and reference numbers between the lugs. Ask for them if not.
  • You know every fee: the buyer's premium (often 20–25% online), shipping and insurance, and import VAT.
  • "New", "polished" and "electronically tested" prove nothing: polished means it has been worked on, and an electronic test checks gold, not a watch.
  • Decide your maximum before the sale and don't go above it.
