Auctions are held regularly, supplemented by revenue from appraisal services offered during valuation days.

In May 2014, Fides Business Partner invested an undisclosed sum in Antiquorum to support its growth initiatives. The company plans to expand its market presence through the introduction of new auction events targeting regions in Asia and Europe by the end of 2024. This strategic direction aims to enhance its reach and accessibility, further solidifying its position in the luxury watch market.
