Export all fixed-price "Buy Now" luxury watch listings from the Sotheby's marketplace — brand, model, reference number, price, year, and image URL for every listing.
Covers 1,000+ blue-chip watches across all brands (Rolex, Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet, Richard Mille, Cartier, Omega, and more). Uses Sotheby's embedded Algolia search index — all data is extracted via structured API rather than fragile DOM parsing, so results are consistent and complete even as the site's HTML layout changes.
What you get
Each record includes:
- object_id — Algolia objectID for this listing
- title — full listing title as displayed (e.g. "Oyster Perpetual (Reference 124300). A 41mm stainless steel automatic wristwatch")
- brand — watch brand / maker (e.g. Rolex, Patek Philippe)
- model — watch model name (e.g. Oyster Perpetual, Nautilus, Royal Oak)
- reference_number — manufacturer reference number (e.g. 124300)
- price — buy-now list price in the listed currency
- currency — price currency code (USD)
- low_estimate / high_estimate — price estimate range (often equals
pricefor buy-now items) - condition — retail / pre-owned classification
- year — year of manufacture
- seller — department name (Watches)
- listing_type — how the item is sold (
buyNow) - product_url — full URL to the product detail page on sothebys.com
- image_urls — primary image URL
- scraped_at — ISO timestamp of when the record was scraped

Notes
- The actor fetches the Sotheby's listing page on each run to retrieve a fresh Algolia search key (the key is time-bound). No credentials or API tokens required.
- The full watch inventory runs approximately 1,000–1,300 listings and can be scraped in a single run.
- Only "Buy Now" (fixed-price) listings are included. Auction lots are not covered by this actor.
- Reference numbers are extracted from the dedicated Algolia field when available; for listings where the field is empty, they are parsed from the title text.
