The available evidence points to one watch worth a closer look: a 1991 Omega Speedmaster Professional reference 145.022, shown at a €4,200 bid with three days left in a Catawiki homepage search result captured on October 8, 2026. That is a time-stamped example—not a complete ranking, a valuation, or a recommendation to buy. Check the live lot page for the current bid, countdown, and listing details before deciding.
Featured Catawiki watch in this snapshot
The captured search result identified an “Omega – Speedmaster Profesionnal Moonwatch – 145.022 – Men – 1991.” The result misspells “Professional”; the model name is normalized here, but the exact reference and listing text should be confirmed on the live lot page. At the time of the snapshot, the current bid was €4,200 and three days remained. Those figures can change as bidding continues. View Catawiki’s live listings.
One search-result example cannot establish which watches are the week’s “top” lots or whether this Omega is the best value. No independent market-sales data or hands-on inspection is available here. Treat the bid as an auction status, not as evidence of a watch’s market value or condition.
How to compare a watch lot before bidding
Open the lot page and assess the watch as a specific object, not just as a brand name or a current bid. Catawiki says a listing page includes photos, origin, condition, dimensions, description, shipping information, and the seller’s country and review score. Catawiki’s help page explains what to check in an object listing.

- Identity: Compare the stated brand, model, reference, and year or period with the case, movement images, and documents shown. Note any mismatch or detail that is not documented.
- Movement and function: Check whether the listing identifies the movement as automatic, manual, or quartz, and whether it says the watch works. Look for disclosed inspection or service history; do not assume a working watch has recently been serviced.
- Condition and originality: Review the case, dial, crystal, bracelet or strap, and visible wear. Look for restoration, aftermarket parts, modifications, or missing components, and distinguish disclosed facts from what photographs alone suggest.
- Included items and provenance: Record exactly whether box, papers, warranty, certificate, service records, or invoices are included. A photo of an item does not necessarily establish that it is part of the sale unless the listing says so.
- Seller and delivery: Check whether the seller is private or professional, the seller’s country and review score, shipping origin, cost, and any possible customs charges.
Catawiki’s watch submission guidelines say that graded or certified watches and documents from reputable sources can help experts assess authenticity and quality. Examples named by Catawiki include a watch-register document, Chrono24 Authenticity Verification, Swiss Certified Pre-Owned programs, and manufacturer-issued archive extracts. Their presence is not guaranteed for every lot, so check what the listing actually includes. Read Catawiki’s watch submission guidelines.
What Catawiki’s watch selection criteria mean
Catawiki’s published guidelines say it accepts authentic watches in specified categories, with a minimum expected value of €200 for vintage watches. The page defines vintage as men’s watches made before 1980, premium as watches from the 1980s to the present with an expected value of €200–€1,000, and exclusive as watches from the 1980s to the present with an expected value of €1,000 or more. These are seller submission or acceptance criteria—not an independent valuation, a resale guarantee, or proof that a particular watch is authentic.

Catawiki names Rolex, Omega, Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet, Seiko (vintage and Grand Seiko), Cartier, and Tudor among popular or high-demand segments. It also cites diving watches, chronographs, limited editions, vintage timepieces, original box and papers, collector editions, and models such as Speedmaster, Submariner, and Tank. These are Catawiki’s own examples, not a measured ranking of current demand or investment performance.
The company says its in-house experts review objects, but it also states that the seller remains responsible for ensuring the object matches its description. The watch page is therefore still the buyer’s key evidence: read the claims and compare them with the photographs and documents rather than treating platform review as a substitute for due diligence. Catawiki’s About page describes its marketplace and seller responsibility.

Calculate the cost beyond the winning bid
Catawiki’s buyer page states the total as: “Winning bid + Buyer Protection Fee (9% + €3) + Shipping.” The page says the fee is 9% of the final bid plus €3, including applicable VAT. Shipping is set by the seller and varies with carrier, method, packing and handling, and applicable fees; cross-border deliveries may also incur customs charges. These are the terms shown on Catawiki’s current buyer page, whose publication year is not stated, so confirm the fee and the lot’s delivery charges before bidding. See Catawiki’s buyer-cost explanation.
For a personal spending limit, decide your maximum total cost first, then account for the buyer fee, shipping, and any applicable duties. Do not set a ceiling based only on the visible bid or on an expert estimate.

Know the bidding and seller terms
Catawiki says bids are binding and cannot be canceled or withdrawn unless you are outbid. Its marketplace page explains that each purchased object is sold by a third-party private or professional seller; the winning bid creates a contract directly with that seller, who is responsible for describing the object truthfully and ensuring it is authentic and in the stated condition. Read Catawiki’s buyer information.
If a detail is unclear, Catawiki says buyers can ask it to pass a question to the seller while the auction is live, and recommends leaving at least three days for a response. If an object materially differs from its description—for example, it is the wrong model, lacks a part shown or mentioned, is in worse condition, or has an undisclosed major fault—it may qualify as “not as described.” Minor cosmetic differences or a change of mind usually do not. Keep the listing text and photographs; this information is not a promise of a particular dispute outcome. See Catawiki’s guidance on items that differ from their descriptions.

When to check the listings
Catawiki says its special-object auctions usually run for 7–10 days; the publication year for that figure is not stated. A weekly roundup is consequently a moving snapshot: lots, bids, and countdowns can change while an auction is live. Reopen the watch auction pages close to publication and again before bidding to confirm each lot’s reference, condition, bid, end time, seller, shipping, and included documentation. Catawiki’s About page describes its auctions and expert review.
