The houses we source from, and the pieces we look for first. The Register is not a shop floor — it is the standing brief we buy against. Tell us which piece you are after and we will find it, authenticate it, and write its file before it ever reaches you.
Some entries carry a guide. A guide is what the model has been trading at — not an offer, and not a quote on a piece. No two examples of the same model are the same piece: condition, year, hardware and provenance decide what any individual example is worth, and we will not quote before we have seen it. Expect the real figure to land above or below the guide, and expect us to tell you which before you commit.
Entries with no guide are ones we have not researched to a figure we would stand behind. We would rather show nothing than a number we cannot source. Pieces already in the house — authenticated, hallmarked and priced — sit in the Maison, and those prices are real.
A few references are marked Allocation. Those are released by the originating house on its own timetable and cannot be found on request at any price. We will put your brief on the list and tell you the moment one surfaces — but we will not give you a date we cannot keep.
