Why does Cartier sell for high prices?
The brand power as a royal warrant holder.
Cartier, founded in 1847, is a prestigious French luxury brand with many royal and celebrity admirers, which enhances its value through its brand power. Counted among the "Top 5 Jewelers in the World," Cartier has established a prominent position not only as a jewelry maker but also within the watch industry, living up to its esteemed reputation.
High demand but low production.
Cartier does not mass-produce, but instead manufactures in small quantities with great care, which means that demand consistently exceeds supply. Due to the limited circulation in the resale market, the value and demand rarely decrease. The rarity of the product increases its value, so the likelihood of the price decreasing is low.
The rise in the price of the precious metals used as materials.
Cartier jewelry and watches are made from precious metals such as gold and platinum. Due to recent global circumstances, the prices of precious metals have soared. As a result, high-price transactions are expected in the second-hand market.
The reason why Cartier is considered to be at the right time to sell
In recent years, the spread of e-commerce has led to increased sales of brand items. As a result, Cartier, which is produced in limited quantities, has seen a decrease in stock, and its market value has risen. This situation is similar in the second-hand market as well. Currently, due to the soaring prices of precious metals, now is an recommended time to sell.
Recommended Cartier Models for Purchase
Cartier is a renowned jewelry brand, but it is also known for being the first to sell wristwatches in the world. Not only jewelry, but the popularity of their watches is also high, and they are traded at high prices. Here are the recommended models:
Trinity Three-Color Ring
Cartier's 'Trinity Ring' is a jewelry piece so iconic that it is synonymous with the brand. With nearly 100 years of history since its release in 1924,the motif of overlapping yellow, white, and pink gold symbolizes 'loyalty,' 'friendship,' and 'love,' respectively. The design, where each color overlaps, creates an elegant and vibrant look on the finger, adding a refined touch of sophistication.
Love Ring
One of the popular pieces in Cartier's Love Collection, the Love Ring, was created in 1983 and features a distinctive screw motif. Rings designed based on chastity belts once used in Europe symbolize 'bonds of love' and 'restraint,' representing eternal love.
Pasha
The Cartier Pasha, a rare round-shaped wristwatch, was developed in the 1930s. Currently, the only model available for sale is the 'Miss Pasha,' which is designed for women. As a result, discontinued men's models like the "Pasha C" have become increasingly popular, and they are especially highly valued in the second-hand market.
Santos
The 'Santos,' the world's first wristwatch, was made available to the public in 1911. In an era when pocket watches were the norm, it made history as a revolutionary timepiece and left its name in history. In 2004, the 'Santos 100' was reissued to commemorate the model's 100th anniversary.
Tank
The Cartier "Tank" watch, characterized by its square design, was inspired by a tank and first introduced in 1917. The series includes models such as the "Tank Louis Cartier," "Tank Americaine," and "Tank Must," each with distinct variations and design elements that maintain the classic Tank aesthetic. The Tank series is so popular that people who love it are called "Tankists," and there is a high demand in the second-hand market as well.
