What to bid
Rough bid guideWe could not match this listing to auction results for its exact reference, so there is no bid ladder. Here is a rough guide from what dealers ask for the 348 Cartier Santos listings we have, all versions, instead.
- The house estimates
- USD 2,641 – 3,961
- If it sells like the rest
- about USD 2,430 hammer
Across the 19,181 auction results we track from 153 houses, watches that sold went for a median 0.92× their low estimate (the middle half 0.75–1.21×); unsold lots are not counted. Estimates are set by the house to draw bidders, so treat this as context, not a valuation.
Bought here, the buyer's premium, shipping, and import VAT and duty to Denmark add about 72% to the hammer. Stop at about USD 2,500 and you pay 20% less than a dealer's USD 5,301: a fair discount for buying without a dealer's warranty or return. A rough guide from every Cartier Santos listing we have (USD 5,301 – 10,420), not the same reference; no title came close enough to narrow them down, and they mix sizes and versions, so we take the cheaper quarter of what dealers ask.
Before you bidfive checks
- The seller guarantees in writing that the watch is genuine and takes it back if it is not.
- The photos show the case back, clasp, and the serial and reference numbers between the lugs. Ask for them if not.
- You know every fee: the buyer's premium (often 20–25% online), shipping and insurance, and import VAT.
- "New", "polished" and "electronically tested" prove nothing: polished means it has been worked on, and an electronic test checks gold, not a watch.
- Decide your maximum before the sale and don't go above it.
