Sell Your Cartier Watch in the UK

How Much Is My Cartier Worth?

There's no price list on this site, because the offer depends on the individual watch. Send Ben the reference and a few photos for a free estimate. Four things decide it, and how our watch valuations work explains the method behind them.

Model and reference

Cartier makes watches in many shapes, and a single model can come in several sizes, dials and metals. The reference pins down exactly which one you own. You will find it on the papers and the case back, and if it has worn away or the papers are missing, photos are enough for Ben to identify the watch.

Metal, size and movement

Steel, yellow, rose and white gold and two-tone are valued differently, so tell us which you have. Cartier makes both automatic and quartz watches, and many Cartiers are quartz, so it helps to know which yours is.

Condition and whether it runs

We look at the case, bezel, glass, crown and bracelet or strap. On a Cartier the strap and buckle matter too: a replacement that isn't Cartier's own can lower the offer. A watch that needs a polish is fine. Please don't polish it first. The first thing Ben asks every seller to check is whether it's running. A stopped quartz Cartier often just needs a battery, but a buyer can't tell that from the outside, and the offer may allow for that. A new battery from a local watch-battery shop costs a few pounds and shows the watch runs.

Box, papers and serial number

The box and papers are worth having, and they should match the watch. Cartier changed its paperwork around 2016, from a warranty certificate to an international warranty card, and either is worth having. Without them we value the watch on what you have. The serial number is on the case back. Cartier's own portal takes registered serial numbers, which helps, but it can't confirm on its own that a watch is genuine, so Ben also inspects the watch itself. Our guide covers selling without the box and papers.

The estimate comes from your photos, and the final offer comes after inspection. If the watch turns out different from how it looked, for example a changed bracelet or more wear, Ben tells you what has changed and you can say no. A posted watch that you decline comes back insured at no cost to you.

Do Cartier Watches Hold Their Value?

Yes, a Cartier has resale value, though a pre-owned one is generally worth less than a new one. Some references hold up better than others, and there is no safe shortlist of models, so the quickest answer for yours is an estimate from Ben. How market trends affect watch prices explains what moves the market.

Looking for a Cartier Buyer Near You?

We buy Cartier from private sellers across the UK. Meetings are by appointment at one of our offices, so message Ben first on WhatsApp or through the form. See all of our locations, or the pages for London and Manchester. If an office is too far, you can post the watch instead. Selling online or in person compares the two.
