Watches from brand manufacturers such as Rolex impress with their breathtaking precision and aesthetic appearance. No matter whether it is an attic find, an estate, dissolution or an inheritance: selling a watch can be worthwhile and can sometimes result in a surprisingly high purchase price.

Avoid mistakes when selling watches

Whoever wants to sell a watch or even a whole watch collection should preserve its value. Collecting watches is strongly connected with aesthetic aspects. No matter how small they may be: scratches reduce the value of watches immensely. Handle your watches with care and make sure to handle them with a glove. There is nothing worse than a watch that falls to the ground and loses its functionality. If you can present the corresponding sales receipt, you benefit from proof of authenticity. There’s a lot of fakes in circulation. Buyers who have been cheated before are very careful to have a certificate of authenticity. If the watch is in a protective case, it should be sold together with the protective case. The best purchase price is achieved when the watch is in its original condition.

AVOID

  • claw marks
  • to take out of the hull
  • to remove the original packaging
  • with sharp objects

Valuable watches – recognise true treasures

The Association of the Swiss Watch Industry suspects that every second luxury watch is a fake. The counterfeits are produced in Asia and sold at bargain prices. Many counterfeits are so good that they barely differ from the original on the outside. Anyone who wants to sell a watch or watch collection should be convinced of its authenticity. Otherwise, there is a risk of criminal charges for fraud. Professionals recognize counterfeits in the mechanics. Luxury watches and brand watches are handmade and have a clear recognition value. Laymen rarely have the ability to detect fake watches with a casual glance. Please note that an original is always delivered with a certificate of authenticity. The papers also include a warranty certificate and operating instructions. The authenticity of a watch can be recognized by its serial number.

Rare watches – the most valuable watches in the world

Richard Mille, Rolex, Roger Dubuis and Montblanc are watch brands that everyone associates with luxury. This luxury has its price. The Excalibur Quatuor Silicon from the Geneva watch manufacturer Roger Dubuis is currently regarded as the most expensive watch in the world. The 48 millimetre housing is made of silicon. It weighs about half as much as Titanium, but is four times harder. The RM 031 High Performance by Richard Mille ranks second among the most expensive watches in the world – it was sold for 800,000 Euros. The model is limited to ten pieces and has the “smoothest gait in the world”. One of the most famous watches in the world is the Vacheron Constatin New Traditionnelle. This is made of platinum and displays all 37 time zones of the world. The world map is mounted on a metal dial framed by a sapphire disc. Lovers rave about the Montblanc Villeret 1858 ExoTourbillon Chronographe – the first timepiece in the Montblanc Villeret collection to combine the chronograph function with the tourbillon.

Increase the value of your watches on sale

If you want to increase the sales price of a watch, you have to consider some special features. The sales prices for watches are determined by the principle of supply and demand. The more bidders compete with each other, the higher the price. Buying a watch has a lot to do with aesthetics. Watches polished to a high gloss look better than dusty watches. It is advantageous if the watch has been serviced regularly and is still in working order. If necessary, this should be done before a sale. Cleaning and inspection should take place every five to seven years. The price varies according to the effort involved – some watches consist of several hundred individual parts, all of which have to be checked. The repair costs required for this can be passed on to the buyer at the time of sale. If no papers are enclosed with the watch, you can contact a specialist dealer or platforms such as Catawiki.com – these confirm the authenticity of the watch. Such proof increases the interest of buyers immensely.

YOU CAN DO THAT

  • ensure an appealing presentation
  • Gently remove dust from protective covers
  • Always have watches serviced at the jeweller’s
  • Use cleaning baths, ultrasonic cleaners and vibration cleaners

Determine the value of watches yourself – our recommendation

Anyone who has found a watch or watch collection can look up its value. We recommend the book “Klassische Armbanduhren: The “Grand Prize Guide” by Peter Braun and Stefan Commertz. The watch catalogue comes from the specialized company “Classic Data”, which deals with classic cars and also monitors the watch market.

The following literature accompanies you in your adventure in the world of wristwatches with expert knowledge
  • Classic wristwatches: The big price guide, lists a hundred watches, sorted alphabetically by manufacturer.

 

Buy on Amazon

The prices contained in the book are taken from a specially created database. The estimates of the watches correspond to the offers and auctions of renowned specialist dealers. The book lists several hundred watches in alphabetical order of manufacturers. The book is not final, but includes the classics among the watches. Especially those to which collectors attach importance. Each watch is listed with a brief description of the associated brand, including details of its headquarters, year of foundation and any specialisation in techniques. The clocks are displayed with pictures and descriptions – the quality of the pictures is very high.
