About HYPA International
HYPA International is a Melbourne-based luxury watch specialist dealing in authenticated pre-owned timepieces from leading watchmakers including Rolex, Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet, Richard Mille, F.P. Journe and Greubel Forsey.
We work with collectors and private clients across Australia and internationally, providing specialist assistance with buying, selling and sourcing high-end watches.
Standards
Exceptional Timepieces
Every watch offered by HYPA International is assessed for authenticity, condition, provenance and completeness before sale.
Our timepieces are sourced through trusted collectors, reputable suppliers and established industry partners in Australia and overseas.
Where available, watches are supplied with their original box, papers and accompanying accessories. When original documentation is unavailable, the timepiece undergoes HYPA International’s authentication process and may be supplied with a watchmaker’s authenticity report.
Before sale
How every watch is checked
Inspected by an expert watchmaker
Every watch HYPA sells is inspected before sale by an expert watchmaker engaged by HYPA. The inspection covers the watch as a whole and the items that accompany it.
What you receive
HYPA does not issue a written condition report. Condition and inclusions are stated on each watch’s page, and additional photographs and video of the piece are available on request before you commit. Where a watch comes without its original papers, a watchmaker’s authenticity report may be supplied.
If something does not check out
You are told before the watch is shipped. Where service history or provenance cannot be verified, that is disclosed rather than assumed.

Services
Buying, Selling and Sourcing
Buying
Whether you are purchasing your first significant watch or adding to an established collection, we provide detailed information and considered guidance through each stage of the process.
Clients can expect GST-inclusive pricing, secure payment options and direct communication throughout each transaction.
Selling
For clients looking to sell a watch, HYPA International provides assessments based on the individual timepiece and current market conditions.
Factors including brand, reference, condition, provenance, completeness and market demand are considered when assessing each watch.
Sourcing
Some of the most desirable watches are rarely available through conventional retail channels. Through our international network, HYPA International can assist clients searching for rare, discontinued and difficult-to-find references from leading watchmakers.
We work with each client to define the reference, configuration, condition and other requirements before approaching our network.
