Asked yourself, is it time to sell my Cartier? Whether you own a Cartier Tank, Ballon Bleu or iconic Santos-Dumont, here’s a polished, practical guide with essential tips to help you successfully manage your sale.
Cartier is a prestigious luxury brand, so buyers expect authenticity, transparency, and excellent condition. Here are key tips to help you achieve the best outcome.
1. Gather Documents and Packaging
Selling a Cartier requires a thoughtful approach to maximise both resale value and ease of sale. Nothing increases buyer confidence like a complete set. Collect the original box and papers, certificate of authenticity, receipts, and any service records.
Even if the item is several years old, a full “set” can significantly raise the resale value of a Cartier watch. If you had the piece serviced, include paperwork—proof of maintenance reassures buyers that the item has been cared for properly.
2. Verify Authenticity
If you’re unsure whether your Cartier piece has ever been authenticated, consider having it checked by a reputable jeweller or watch specialist.
Many buyers request third-party verification, especially for high-value items like a Cartier Tank. An authentication report helps justify your asking price and speeds up the selling process.
3. Assess Current Market Value
Before listing, spend time researching recent sale prices or contact Chrono Hunter for a no obligation estimate.
With years of experience and unmatched brand expertise across many top Swiss luxury watch brands, we can ascertain quickly how much you are likely to achieve, when it comes to resale value.
When you decide to sell Cartier watches, you should entrust not only a reputable platform like ours but our exclusive network of buyers who are well-versed in evaluating items with similar condition, age, metal type, and model.

4. Present The Item Professionally
Presentation matters.
Clean the piece gently (or have it professionally polished if appropriate). Take high-quality photos with good lighting and from multiple angles with well-lit surroundings.
Show close-ups of hallmarks, serial numbers, and any imperfections. Buyers appreciate honesty, and clear images reduce the likelihood of disputes or returns.
5. The Right Selling Platform
There are lots of perils and pitfalls when exploring how to sell Cartier watches.
Third party marketplaces should be avoided, due to credibility and legitimacy while some companies offer consignment. However, this requires more time and patience to yield better prices with no guarantee of a quick sale.
