Stanhope works with clients who need cover for high-value possessions, including watches, jewellery, art and collections. We work with a range of insurers, which means we can help clients compare options rather than relying on one route.
Different owners need different cover. A single Rolex Datejust worn daily may need a different approach from a collection containing Rolex, Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet, Richard Mille, Omega, Cartier and Breitling watches.
Stanhope can support you with:
- Access to multiple insurance products
- Instant quote options where available
- Flexible underwriting for higher values
- Specialist advisors who understand valuable watches
- Tailored recommendations based on how you use your watch
- Support if you need to make a claim
For some clients, standalone cover for valuable watches is the right option. For others, a broader high-value home insurance policy may be more suitable, especially where jewellery, art or other collections also need protecting.
Luxury protection for Rolex watches
Watch insurance can be arranged as standalone cover or as part of a high-value home insurance policy. The right option will depend on the value of your watch, how often you wear it, where it is kept and whether you need cover away from home.
At Stanhope, our luxury protection comparison site can cater for watch items or collections from £1,000 in value up to £500,000. If your collection is over £500,000, you can still get a quote online and one of our friendly advisors can talk you through the available options.
Cover may be arranged for:
- A single Rolex watch
- Multiple watches
- A wider luxury watch collection
- Valuable watches owned alongside jewellery or other high-value possessions
Rolex watches are among the most recognised luxury watches in the world. Our products are designed to protect valuable timepieces against risks that may not be fully covered by standard home insurance.

Why choose specialist insurance for Rolex watches?
Rolex watches are globally recognised and highly desirable. They can also prove very valuable on the resale market. This can make them attractive to thieves, so It’s important to have the right cover in place to protect them.
A standard home insurance policy may not provide enough protection for a high-value watch. Some policies may:
- Have single-item limits
- Only cover watches inside the home
- Require extra personal possessions cover
- Restrict cover away from the home
- Need proof of value or recent valuations
This’s why having tailored cover for your luxury watches can be a useful solution. The value of luxury watches can also rise over time. If you own several watches, your collection may also need specialist underwriting which you cannot get on a standard home insurance policy.
For wider protection, Stanhope can also discuss high-value jewellery and watch insurance.
Our watch insurance policies can include
- Worldwide coverage as standard
- Accidental loss, damage, theft and fire cover
- No limit on individual watch value
- Cash settlement or like-for-like replacement
- No excess to pay
- Cover for a single watch or watch collections
Worldwide cover means your Rolex watch can potentially be protected while you travel, subject to insurer terms and underwriting.

I started working in the insurance industry in 2004. Four years later, I left to focus on theological studies, working as a youth worker and then as a ministry director in Seattle, USA. When returning to the UK, I had an opportunity to work for the late Andrew Marchington. I joined his firm as a sales advisor when it had around ten staff members. Within three years, I was Head of Ops with a staff team of over 30 people. After a chance encounter in 2019 with Rachel Living and Will Cooper, I co-started Stanhope to build a high-value home, luxury watch, and jewellery broker synonymous with trust. I love being with Donna, my wife, and four kids when not working, cramming in the odd row, or run when I can. I am fortunate to love what I do and consider it a blessing to grow the Stanhope brand.
