Sell Cartier watch

Yes, we are both Cartier watch and Cartier jewellery buyers. For those looking to sell their Cartier watch in London, we regularly buy Cartier watches, from iconic models like the Tank and Santos to more contemporary designs. Our watch specialists provide accurate valuations based on model, condition, and current market demand.

Selling a Cartier watch in London is best done through a pre-owned watch specialist and reseller, like Suttons and Robertsons. We offer valuations on all different Cartier models (with and without box and paperwork). If you sell your Cartier watch to us and we will have the money in your account on the same day, compared with lengthy processes of other watch resellers.

Between 55% and 75% of the original brand new retail price in most cases. From our experience of buying and selling Cartier watches for many years, when Cartier watches are purchased brand new, they immediately lose at least 10% of their value, often a lot more. The amount depends on the model, bracelet size, condition, and whether you still have the box and paperwork.

Compared to other watch brands such as Rolex and Patek Philippe where some brand new models appreciate in value, Cartier watches usually do not. Rolex and Patek Philippe carefully manage supply, and the scarcity is what drives the apprecication.

Please remember if you are selling your Cartier watch for cash, you will receive less than the Cartier resale value as the Cartier dealer will look to resell the piece for the resale amount.

That said, there are some vintage or discontinued Cartier watches which sell for a lot of money. For example, at a Sotheby's auction in April 2026, a 1987 Cartier London Crash watch was sold for $1.99m. Though these cases are extremely rare.

The Cartier watch models we buy include but are not limited to Pasha, Tank, Ballon Bleu, Santos, Panthère, Ronde, Maillon, Baignoire, Privé, Drive Cle and Roadster Tortue. We buy ladies, gents and unisex Cartier watches.

One way to increase the value of your Cartier watch is to have it serviced by Cartier and keep the original box, paperwork and service records.

If you are planning to sell your Cartier watch, having it recently serviced can increase its resale value. Alternatively, you can sell it in its current condition and the dealer can arrange the service before resale, although the cost of servicing would typically be reflected in the price offered.

If your Cartier watch needs servicing, we recommend using Cartier rather than a third-party service company. However, it is a balancing act: avoid servicing or polishing the case and bracelet too frequently, as this can negatively impact the value.

Most importantly, look after your watch. Cartier watches scratch more easily than other brands.

Most used Cartier watches have a resale value of between £1,000 and £15,000. The exact amount depends on many factors such as model, collection, condition and material (gold, stainless steel, platinum etc.).

According to WatchCharts, which track the prices of second hand watch brands, Cartier watches have appreciated in value by around 10% over the last 12 months (as of 17th August 2026). With the Panthère, Tank and Santos models performing the best. Therefore it could now be argued now is an excellent time to sell Cartier watches.

We make Cartier watch purchase offers to clients from £500, though our average pay out for Cartier watches is much higher. The amount depends on the resale value of the spefific model. We can provide you with a cash offer for your Cartier watch within 24 working hours if you get in touch with us.
