Cartier has been fashioning exemplary jewelry pieces since 1847 at their Parisian establishment. After three generations of Cartiers, the brand went on to gain worldwide recognition as the fine crafters they are today. Their watches however, are the product of Brazilian aviator Alberto Santos-Dumont’s comment to his then friend, Louis Cartier, on the difficulty of using pocket watches while flying.

Soon after, the “Santos” wristwatch was born. Its distinct design was quickly adopted and adored by Santos-Dumont and many others. From there, Cartier established its name as a premier watchmaker.

Compare an outright sale, an eligible collateral loan, consignment and an approved remote evaluation. We explain the factors behind the offer so you can decide which option suits you.

Sell Your Cartier Watch For Cash

Bring your Cartier watch as it is, with any box, papers, spare links and service records you already have. Our specialists explain the reference, materials, condition and market comparisons. If you accept a purchase offer after examination, we confirm the agreed payment method and next steps. There is no obligation to sell.

Pawn Your Cartier Watch For A Temporary Loan

If you want to recover your watch later, discuss an eligible watch collateral loan instead of a sale. Review the amount, costs, repayment and redemption dates in the written agreement. The watch is held as collateral; failure to meet the agreement can result in its loss. No credit check is required.

Sell Your Cartier Watch On Consignment

Consignment is a separate selling arrangement, not a guaranteed percentage above a direct offer. Ask for the proposed selling price, your net proceeds, commissions, other charges, duration, payment timing and unsold-item terms in writing. Discuss suitability with our team before choosing this route.

Sell Your Cartier Watch From Home

Start with a consultation and clear photographs of the watch and any documents. A specialist confirms suitability and the approved kit or label, insurance and return arrangements before dispatch. Final examination determines the offer and payment steps; photographs are not a final authentication or guaranteed payout. Read about selling a watch from home before shipping anything.

Identify the watch, size and configuration

Tank, Santos and Ballon Bleu names each cover multiple references and sizes. Share the reference on your paperwork, case material, movement type if known, and the bracelet or strap supplied with the watch. Clear photographs help distinguish configurations before an appointment. A receipt for Cartier jewelry or an advertisement for a different watch is not enough to determine your timepiece’s purchase offer.

Show the details that affect the evaluation

We examine the dial, hands, crystal, case, crown, bracelet or strap and clasp. Tell us about replaced parts, battery or service history, engraving, altered dials and added diamonds. Bring spare links and accessories you already own. Factory-set stones and later customization may need different comparisons. We explain what we can establish and what requires further examination rather than inferring everything from a photograph.

Understand value beyond the brand name

Condition, completeness and demand for the exact watch help inform the offer. The original purchase price, an insurance valuation and a current retail asking price answer different questions. Our specialists combine decades of team experience with established buyer connections to explain the findings and current market.

Is this the right page for a Cartier ring or bracelet?

This page covers Cartier watches. Use our Cartier jewelry seller page for rings, bracelets, necklaces and other jewelry so the evaluation follows the right item category.

Does a Cartier watch need a working battery before evaluation?

You can begin by explaining that it is not running. Do not assume the cause is only the battery; our specialist will advise on an appropriate inspection.

Can I sell a Cartier watch with added diamonds?

Send photos and explain what you know about the additions. We evaluate the actual configuration, including condition and any changes; customization does not guarantee a higher offer.
