Piguet transformed the traditional auction house into a decidedly modern business using the latest management methods and introducing a high level of professionalism with services offered to buyers and sellers.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Drouot.com at 4.8 against Piguet's 4.0. Drouot.com also leads on update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 14 months) and ratings volume (575 vs 6). Piguet's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
