It depends on the model, but usually yes, Cartier watches do hold their value. Vintage or particularly unique examples will appreciate in value over time, especially if they are well-maintained and come with original documentation. Limited editions, rare models, and iconic designs like the Cartier Tank or Santos often see significant appreciation. However, like any investment, the value can fluctuate depending on market trends, condition, and desirability at the time of sale. Regular servicing and careful preservation are key to maintaining and potentially increasing the value of a Cartier watch.
Cartier recommends servicing every 5 years to retain complete functionality, performance and value.
