How much to insure your Cosmograph Daytona for
Insure for what it would cost to replace the watch today. For this reference that’s the market value, which is above retail. If your policy still uses an older appraisal, you may be underinsured.
Review your coverage amount every year, and after big market moves.
Keep the box, papers, receipt and clear photos: they speed up claims.
Most specialist policies cover loss, theft and accidental damage worldwide.
Suggested coverage amount$30,200
Estimated cost to insure$302–$604/yrAbout 1–2% of value; your price depends on where you live.
