Buy Certified Pre-Owned De Grisogono Watches in Switzerland

De Grisogono was founded in Geneva in 1993 by Fawaz Gruosi, a designer who had previously worked at Harry Winston and Bulgari before starting his own house. Gruosi built the brand's reputation on a then-unconventional material — black diamonds, largely overlooked by the jewellery world until he made them the house's signature — earning him the nickname "King of Black Diamonds." De Grisogono entered watchmaking in 2000 with the Instrumento No Uno, and over the following two decades became known for bold, asymmetric case designs and jewellery watches that treated horology as an extension of high jewellery rather than a separate discipline.

The original De Grisogono company filed for bankruptcy in 2020; the brand was acquired by Dubai's DAMAC Group in 2022. Watches from the Gruosi era (1993–2019) — the period the brand's design language and reputation were built on — are today only accessible through the pre-owned market.

At WATCHOYSTER, we carry a selection of certified pre-owned De Grisogono watches inspected in Switzerland. Every piece has been physically examined by our in-house certified watchmaker, verified against The Watch Register, and documented before listing. What you see reflects the actual condition of the watch, with no exceptions.

Why Buy Pre-Owned De Grisogono Watches?

De Grisogono occupies a singular position among jewellery watchmakers, built entirely around bold colour and asymmetric design rather than classical horology. Because original Gruosi-era pieces are no longer in production, the pre-owned market is the only route to the designs that defined the brand for over two decades. Buying a certified second-hand De Grisogono from a verified dealer in Switzerland means every piece has been assessed for movement accuracy, stone setting condition and case integrity before listing. Our 12-month warranty applies to every watch in our catalogue, and our 14-day return policy covers any case where the watch does not correspond to its description.

Purchase Conditions

All De Grisogono watches in our catalogue are available for immediate purchase with worldwide insured delivery. Standard delivery across Switzerland takes 2 to 3 business days. For clients who prefer to inspect the watch in person before completing the purchase, our appointment-only lounge in the Geneva Free Zone is available by prior arrangement.

0% financing is available on selected pre-owned De Grisogono references for clients based in Switzerland, with terms from 3 to 24 months, no interest and no administrative fees. The full purchase price is divided into equal monthly instalments, with a minimum first payment of 25%. A decision takes under three minutes at checkout, with no documentation required beyond standard order information.
