Whether inherited, received as a gift, or purchased years ago, sooner or later the question comes: what is my watch worth?
The 7 Factors That Determine Value
- Brand and model: Rolex, Patek Philippe and Audemars Piguet maintain (and often increase) value
- Condition: Excellent condition adds 20-40% vs mediocre
- Completeness: Original box, warranty, certificates can add 10-20%
- Year of production: Some pre-1990 vintage pieces have increasing value
- Rarity: Limited editions, special dials, discontinued references
- Movement condition: A serviced watch with certificate is worth more
- Market: Global demand fluctuates
When to Get a Professional Appraisal
- Before selling: to know the real market value
- For insurance: certified appraisal for specific policies
- After inheritance: to understand what you have
- Before purchase: pre-purchase inspection to avoid fakes or hidden issues
