Disclaimer: Please note that watches are sold "as is" and without warranty, particularly regarding their mechanical operation, accuracy, or the longevity of their movement.
Most watches have been opened by our specialists to examine the type, authenticity, and quality of the movement. Consequently, water resistance is no longer guaranteed. Furthermore, some watches are of such an age and condition that a service is necessary; the buyer is therefore advised to consult a watchmaker at their own expense, if possible prior to the sale, to obtain an estimate and bid accordingly.
All watches presented may have undergone prior maintenance or restoration during their lifetime. As a result, they may contain non-original parts such as hands, the crown, internal movement components, etc.
The information in our possession regarding restoration, damage, gem-setting, or general condition is provided for information purposes only; it represents the expression of an opinion as of the date of cataloguing, but does not constitute a guarantee. It does not engage the liability of HDV Hôtel des Ventes SA nor that of its employees. Photographs and dimensions are given for guidance only.
As the exhibition allows the buyer to examine all lots prior to the sale, no claims will be accepted once the hammer has fallen. (Art. 6 of the Terms and Conditions printed in the catalogue and available on Piguet.com).
CITES
Les lots contenant des matériaux issus d’espèces ou de matières protégées ou réglementées (notamment ivoire, écaille de tortue, crocodile, alligator, corail, peaux ou bois exotiques) peuvent être soumis à des restrictions d’exportation, d’importation, de transport ou de douane au titre de la CITES ou d’autres réglementations applicables. Il appartient aux acheteurs de vérifier les exigences dans leur pays applicables avant d’enchérir. Piguet Hôtel des Ventes ne pourra assister les acheteurs dans l’obtention de permis ou documents requis, ni organiser l’expédition internationale de tels lots.
Pour certains lots comportant des éléments réglementés (notamment bracelets en crocodile/alligator ou éléments en ivoire, ou autres composants amovibles soumis à restriction), le retrait préalable à l’expédition pourra être proposé à la demande de l’acheteur. Ce retrait est définitif et irréversible ; l’acheteur renonce à tout droit de propriété, de restitution ou de réclamation sur l’élément retiré.
Dans le cas où l’acheteur se verrait dans l’impossibilité d’obtenir les autorisations nécessaires ou d’exporter, importer ou transporter légalement un lot, il ne pourra invoquer cette difficulté pour justifier ni l’annulation de la vente, ni un retard de paiement.

Lots containing materials derived from protected or regulated species or materials (including ivory, tortoiseshell, crocodile, alligator, coral, exotic skins or exotic woods) may be subject to export, import, customs or shipping restrictions under CITES and other applicable regulations. Buyers are responsible for verifying all applicable requirements in their country prior to bidding. Piguet Auction House will not assist with permits, CITES documentation or international shipment of such lots.
For certain lots containing regulated elements (including crocodile or alligator straps, ivory components, or other removable restricted materials), removal prior to dispatch may be offered at the buyer’s request.

Failure to obtain the necessary authorisations, or any inability to export, import or lawfully transport a lot, shall not justify cancellation of the sale or delay in payment.
