  • 12–24 high-resolution atelier photos and the vendor's own shots.
  • Service history, papers, box, accessories — everything declared and verified.

Step 04 · Pay through SNB escrow

Your funds, held by Saudi National Bank.

When you buy or win an auction, your card is pre-authorised. Funds move to an SNB escrow account — not the seller, not LUXVAULT. Money is only released when you confirm the watch matches the listing.

  • Pay by card (Visa, Mastercard, AMEX), bank transfer or Apple Pay.
  • Order total includes the piece + 6% buyer premium + shipping + VAT 15%.
  • Promo codes and concierge discounts applied at checkout.

Frequently asked

Buying on LUXVAULT, in clear words.

Do I need to verify my identity to buy?

For purchases below SAR 500,000, no — a valid card and a confirmed email are enough. For higher amounts, we ask for a one-time light KYC (ID + proof of address). It takes 30 minutes maximum and protects everyone.

What does the 6% buyer premium cover?

It covers SNB escrow processing, our 38-point authentication, the certificate, dispute resolution, the 14-day return window and your insured shipping inside KSA. No other hidden fees.

What if I want to return the watch?

Open the return from your account dashboard within 14 days of delivery. We send a pre-paid insured label, the watch returns to our Riyadh atelier, and your funds are refunded in full once we verify the piece is in the same condition.

How do live auctions work?

Your card is pre-authorised for the max bid amount. You can place a single bid or a proxy bid (the system bids on your behalf in minimum increments). Anti-snipe extends the auction by 5 minutes on any last-second bid. If you win, the pre-auth converts to escrow. If you lose, the auth is released instantly.

Can I see the watch before paying?

Yes — book an atelier visit in Riyadh through our concierge. For international clients, we offer a "Receive & Inspect" service: we ship the piece to a curator in your city for a 24-hour viewing before any escrow movement.

Is the watch insured during shipping?

Yes — full insurance on the declared value, signature on delivery, GPS-tracked. Aramex Royale within KSA, FedEx Priority worldwide. If anything happens in transit, your escrow is automatically refunded.
