What is a luxury watch?
A few years ago, a luxury watch was simply an expensive timepiece, a symbol of status and wealth. Today, the term "luxury watch" is a little more complex than that. Made with the finest materials and the highest quality standards, they are generally handcrafted and have a unique design.
Luxury watches are also often associated with renowned brands. They are generally intended to be worn as a fashion accessory and come with a quality guarantee.
Luxury watches are an excellent investment, as they tend to increase in value over time.
Caraor buys and sells luxury watches at its branches in Ougrée, near Liège, and Rixensart, near Waterloo. Contact us for a free estimate.
What are the hottest brands in luxury watchmaking?
The most renowned luxury watch manufacturers are those who have succeeded in creating watches of exceptional quality that stand out from the rest. These brands have earned the trust and respect of their customers, and have endured over the years.
An article published on the Le Point newspaper website reveals the most sought-after brands in luxury watchmaking. Among the most popular are Rolex, Omega, Cartier, Longines, Chopard, Jaeger Le Coultre, Breguet, Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet and Vacheron Constantin.
These brands all have unique histories and traditions, giving them an unrivalled sense of exclusivity and prestige. They are known for their superior quality, elegant design and sophisticated mechanical movements, making them highly sought-after by collectors and watch connoisseurs alike.

What factors are taken into account when estimating the value of a luxury watch?
Luxury watches are generally very expensive, but they also have a high resale value.
You can make a lot of money reselling a luxury watch. The value of a luxury watch depends on several factors, such as the make, model, mechanism and condition of the watch.
State of preservation.
The state of preservation of a watch is an important factor in determining its value.
Several factors come into play when assessing the condition of a watch, such as wear, damage, corrosion, etc.
Watches in good condition are generally more valuable than others.
Antique and rare watches, in particular, can be very valuable, even if they are not in perfect condition. Watches in good condition are generally more valuable than others.
The state of preservation is therefore an important element to take into account when buying or selling a watch.
The model.
The model of a watch is an important factor that can affect its value.
The most expensive and sought-after models are those considered timeless classics. These watches are generally simple, with a clean, elegant design.
The most precious watches in the world are those that are handcrafted with the finest materials and designs.
Some of the world's most precious watches include :
- the Patek Philippe Ref. 5016A
- the Rolex Day-Date "Paul Newman
- the Rolex "Bao Dai
- the Patek Philippe "Supercomplication
- the Audemars Piguet "Jules Audemars
- ...
The mechanism.
A valuable watch mechanism has a higher value than other watch mechanisms. The value may be due to rarity, aesthetics or functionality. Some valuable watch mechanisms can be very expensive.
Value watch mechanisms generally fall into two categories:
old and rare watch mechanisms.
Antique watch mechanisms are those manufactured more than 100 years ago. These watch mechanisms are generally very rare and expensive.
Rare watch mechanisms are those that are not as old, but are also rare. These watch mechanisms may be less expensive than antique watch mechanisms, but can still be worth a lot of money.
