Luxury asset liquidation in Miami done right. CJ William buys complete collections, single pieces, and full estates of luxury watches, jewelry, diamonds, Hermès, gold, and antique silver. Walk into the Surfside showroom with one piece, or call us to handle an entire estate. We pay dealer-side, write checks in days not weeks, and treat every situation with the privacy and speed it deserves.
The luxury asset market has long run on two kinds of buyers: pawn shops who lowball you, and auction houses who charge 25 percent commission and take 6 to 12 months to close. CJ William is the third option. Direct dealer pricing, same-day offers, same-week wires. Surfside showroom at 9573 Harding Avenue for in-person, fully insured FedEx overnight for everyone else, in-house New York authentication on every piece.
Situations We Help With
- Inherited collections. A parent or grandparent left a safe deposit box of watches, signed jewelry, or coins. You want a fair valuation and a clean exit.
- Estate executor sales. You need a documented buyer who can coordinate with the estate attorney and CPA and move quickly.
- Divorce settlement. Marital assets being divided. Time, privacy, and a clean paper trail are non-negotiable.
- Trust dissolution. A trust is winding down and beneficiaries need cash, not a 12-month auction calendar.
- Business exit and liquidity events. A sale closed or a partner is bought out, and the collection that funded the journey is no longer the priority.
- Downsizing. Moving from the house to the condo. The collection is not coming with you.
- Immediate liquidity, any reason. Medical, legal, opportunity. We do not ask for the story. We make the offer.
What We Buy
Breadth is the moat. Most South Florida dealers specialize in one or two categories. CJ William handles the full picture, which matters when an estate spans watches, jewelry, and bags from different decades and price points.
Luxury Watches
Rolex, Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet, Richard Mille, Cartier, Vacheron Constantin, A. Lange & Söhne, F.P. Journe, IWC, Omega, Tudor, Breitling, Blancpain, Jaeger-LeCoultre, and other established makers. Stainless sports, dress complications, vintage references, and modern grail pieces.
Dedicated buyer pages: Sell Your Rolex in Miami, Sell Your Patek Philippe in Miami, Sell Your Audemars Piguet in Miami. For collectors deciding the right channel, see the best way to sell a luxury watch in Miami guide and the 2026 Luxury Watch Resale Report.
Estate Jewelry
Signed pieces from Cartier, Van Cleef & Arpels, Tiffany & Co., Bulgari, Harry Winston, Graff, Buccellati, Mikimoto, David Webb, and Verdura. Also period and unsigned pieces with strong stones, original mountings, and intact provenance. Single rings, full parures, and entire safe deposit boxes.
Natural and Lab-Grown Diamonds
One carat upward, GIA or AGS certificates preferred but not required. Loose stones, mounted pieces, and parcel lots. Larger and rare-cut stones (old mine, old European, Asscher, emerald, modern round brilliant in D-F VVS) get priority attention.
Hermès Birkin, Kelly, and Constance
Every size and leather. Box, Togo, Epsom, Swift, Clemence, Ostrich, Crocodile (Niloticus and Porosus), and Alligator. Paperwork, dust bag, rain cover, and original receipt improve the offer but are not strictly required for established models in strong condition.
Antique Silver
Hollowware and flatware from major makers: Buccellati, Tiffany & Co., Gorham, Reed & Barton, Georg Jensen, and English Sterling from Garrard and Asprey. Hallmarks, weights, and provenance documents help. Tarnish does not bother us. See the dedicated We Buy Silver in Miami page for sterling, antique signed pieces, bullion, and pre-1965 US coin pricing.
Gold and Bullion
Bullion bars, coins (American Eagle, Krugerrand, Maple Leaf, Vienna Philharmonic, vintage Sovereign), wearable, and scrap. Paid at live spot less a small refining margin. Same-day cash for bullion under $25,000, wire for anything larger. See the dedicated We Buy Gold in Miami page for full pricing tiers, XRF testing, and the remote-selling process.

- Item review. For remote sellers, clear photos plus paperwork. For showroom visits, bring the pieces. For estates, we travel.

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of luxury assets does CJ William buy in Miami?
Luxury watches (Rolex, Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet, Richard Mille, Cartier, Vacheron Constantin, Lange, and others), signed and unsigned estate jewelry, natural and lab-grown diamonds, Hermès Birkin/Kelly/Constance bags, antique silver, and gold. Single pieces or complete estates.
How does CJ William determine the offer price?
Three inputs: live secondary market data, our own buying and selling activity across hundreds of transactions per year, and the condition and provenance of the specific piece. The result is direct dealer pricing, materially higher than pawn or generic dealer offers because we are the end buyer, not a middleman.
How quickly can you make an offer and pay?
Offers are typically delivered the same day for remote submissions with clear photos, and within an hour for in-person showroom visits. Payment is same-week wire for most transactions, same-day for smaller pieces handled in person.
Is the process confidential, especially for estates?
Yes. Showroom visits are by appointment when discretion matters, no public auction catalog, no listing photos of your pieces appearing online, and full NDA available for high-value or sensitive engagements.
Do you handle multi-state estates and out-of-state collections?
Regularly. Most of our estate work spans multiple states. Fully insured FedEx overnight for sellers who prefer to ship, and traveling appraisal anywhere in the United States for collections over $250,000.
What documentation do you need for an inherited estate sale?
Letters testamentary or letters of administration for the executor, government-issued ID for the seller, and any original paperwork on the pieces. For trusts, the relevant certification of trust. We can advise on what to gather before the first conversation.
