How Much Can I Sell My Breitling Watch For?
When you sell your Breitling, the price is often dictated by a number of key factors including model number, age, watch condition and current market prices.
Although there are several older luxury watches that have gained in value and popularity, Breitling has a strong history in producing highly sought after watches. For example, the Navitimer has a history stemming back to 1952 and is considered one of the ultimate pilot watches in the world.
One of Breitling’s flagship timepieces, it allows pilots to work out calculations using an innovative circular slide rule. It was so successful, the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA), made the Breitling Navitimer its official timepiece. This is why models like The Breitling Navitimer BO1 Chronograph 43 are so revered. For more than 70 years, it has defined the history of not just the brand but pilot watches.
Breitling has its share of high value watches like the rare Breitling Bentley Flying B (J28362). Limited to only 50 pieces, it is the definition of pure avant-garde opulence with its diamond studded case, dial, bracelet and bezel.
It is estimated to be worth £40,000, a far cry from its usual pricing such as the B01 which is retailed at £9,500.

Is My Old Breitling Watch Worth Anything?
Yes, the majority of luxury watch brands are considered to be valuable so it’s well worth your time to contact us for an estimate regardless of your watch's condition.
In fact, a discontinued Breitling watch or rare Breitling model could be far more valuable than the initial retail price.
Take for example The Breitling AVI 765. Released in 1953, it was specifically designed as a pilot’s tool watch and has since been revamped as the AVI ref. 765 1953 Re-edition.
It became the perfect companion to The Breitling Navitimer which was released in the same time period, featuring an engraved rotating bezel. While the re-edition retails for £6,800, the original AVI 765 is estimated to be worth in excess of £30,000,
What Do I Need to Sell My Breitling Watch?
While there’s a possibility to sell your Breitling without any documentation, luxury watch retailers appreciate it if you have access to them. In most cases, they will increase the value of your watch with the proper box, certificate or corresponding papers.
Every watch sold by Breitling will usually come with a blockchain technology digital “passport”, connecting each piece to its digital warranty program. Essentially this removes the need for traditional box and papers. The certificate can be securely sent via a transfer to the new owner, whose details will be logged in the digital passport.
Before you contact us, why not search for any service records, warranty papers or sales receipts as proof of purchase. This will act as evidence and authenticity of any repairs, cleaning or replacement of parts undertaken.
Our luxury watch retailers place great emphasis on original parts. Therefore, if anything has been replaced, be sure to inform us accordingly.

Why Are Breitling Watches So Expensive?
Established in 1884, Breitling has an excellent reputation for innovation, manufacturing, top notch quality and manufacturing some of the best chronograph mechanisms. Yet, Breitling watches are very affordable for the standard you are receiving.
Breitling’s accuracy is remarkable due to the fact that all its Swiss made watches now come certified by the Swiss Official Chronometer Testing Institute (COSC). In order to be classified as an official chronometer, the watch must not shift between -4/+6 seconds daily for mechanical watches.
Only 5% of watches in Switzerland are certified, meaning Breitling are very much in the minority going above and beyond concerning watchmaking.
Every Breitling watch is stamped with a ‘Made by Breitling’ label, indicating the level of detail and craftsmanship. It's a confirmation of the rigorous standards that Breitling adheres to when producing their works.
Models from the Navitimer collection such as the Breitling Navitimer Automatic 41 blend the Navitimer’s rich aviation heritage with a modern design. The 41mm case houses beautiful dial colours like algae green or cream white and showcases the powerful COSC certified calibre 17 movement. It retails at £3,800 offering great value as an entry-level luxury watch.
Do Breitling Watches Hold Their Value?
While the watches are an affordable way into the luxury market, they do not keep the same value as the “holy trinity” of luxury watchmakers including Patek Philippe and Vacheron Constantin.
When it is time to sell your Breitling, a rare or limited edition model may have more of a chance of recouping what you originally paid. Statistically, you stand to lose around 25% of the watch's value, the moment you put it on your wrist.
Watches like the Breitling Emergency Orbiter 3 keep their value as they are a rare find. Limited to 2000 pieces, it seeks to keep demand up and supply low, a surefire way of making sure the model doesn't lose value.
Unfortunately, this is in the minority. Even well known collections such as The Breitling Superocean depreciate in value. Stemming back to the 1960s while supporting the scuba diving community, it solidified Breitling in the water sports arena. For example, the Breitling Avenger II Seawolf offers 3000m of water resistance which is a stat that hardly any luxury watch can compete with.
Other notable models feature The Breitling Superocean Automatic 44 containing luminescent hands and 300m of water resistance. It is also sand and shock resistant which is key for all manner of watersports. While it retails at £4000, its estimated value is nearly 10% less on average.
How Can I Find the Model Number For My Breitling Watch?
When you want to sell your Breitling, you will find both the reference number and serial number on the underside of your watch's casing. The reference number is 12 digits and the serial number varies in length.
The 1st digit represents the case and bezel material. For example, it may be ‘D’ which means a yellow gold bezel/steel case. The second and third digits are the movement used, consisting of two numbers or letters. ‘10-49’ represents that the watch is a mechanical movement. 50+ means it's a quartz movement.
The 4th digit is a reference to if the model is COSC certified and is usually a single number. If it's ‘0’, it's non-COSC certified and ‘3’ means it is. The 5th and 6th digits link to the model type and are made up of two numbers. The 7th and 8th digits are the finish type, based on two numbers. For example, ‘10’ is a satin/brushed/titanium finish and ‘13’ is a satin and polished finish.
The 9th digit is the dial colour and is made up of a single letter such as ‘G’ which represents Silver, Silver Storm. The 10th, 11th and 12th digits relate to the design of the dial and are made up of three digits.
