Pawn  Your Breguet Watch, London

The value of Breguet watches at pawn shops

If you are already an owner of a Breguet watch, congratulations, as you have in your possession a highly desirable and classic piece – you can pawn your Breguet watch at most luxury pawnshops. Breguet timepieces are regularly sold at top auction houses around the world and are considered an iconic timepiece with lasting appeal.

Swiss watchmaker Abraham-Louis Breguet began manufacturing his watches in Paris in 1775, and it wasn’t long before his innovative timepieces impressed influencers such as Queen Marie Antoinette and King Louis XVI. Other champions of this iconic brand through time include Napoleon, Queen Victoria, and Winston Churchill.

The business remained in the family until the late nineteenth century, while today production of the watches has moved to Switzerland. Without a doubt, Breguet watches have earned their place in history, not only for their attractive, distinctive appearance but also for their quality and innovative features – which makes them desirable both at auctions and pawn shops.

What makes my Breguet watch special?

Remember that there are a number of factors that will enhance the value of your Breguet piece and influence its loan value at  pawn shops.

Condition

Pristine watches kept in their original packaging will, of course, present in excellent condition but it is understandable that wearing such a beautiful timepiece can be irresistible. In this case, our pawnbroking experts will give a thorough and fair assessment of your Brequet watch, based on the outside appearance as well as the inner workings.

Age

As the story began in 1775, it’s possible that you may have a rare Breguet early piece with a high value at pawn shops. A Breguet Perpétuelle self-winding model sold at auction in May 2016 for £2.35 million, with a story to tell. In 1800 it was sold by Breguet to a general working for Napoleon, changing hands a number of times over the years until it was most recently bought by a Swiss museum for this breathtaking price.

Model

It stands to reason that certain rarer Breguet models or limited editions will be more desirable to pawn, and attract a higher loan value. The Breguet Tradition GMT Manual Wind 40mm, the Breguet Classique Chronograph, and the Breguet Classique Perpetual Calendar are all examples of particularly sought-after models that could fetch you a very high value.

Provenance

Evidence of the “provenance” or history of your Breguet watch will help our pawn shop experts more accurately assess its true value before lending against it. Having the original packaging, receipt, guarantee and service history will help you achieve a good valuation for your cherished timepiece.
