2023 Edition: Price trends in the secondary market {Part 8} [Breguet]

How much do you know about the market price of luxury watches in the secondary market? If you look at the data of various watch shops every day, you may say, "I know it all!" However, it is nearly impossible to set aside the time to do so, and I think there are not many people like that. (Please forgive me, enthusiasts who check it every day (lol)) Furthermore, there are probably many people who are new to watches and think, "I want to buy a luxury watch, but honestly, I have no idea how much it will cost."

So in this article, we would like to tell you "how much each model is selling for" = "how much you can buy it for" based on the average selling price in our store over the past year ! This is the 8th article, and this time we will focus on Breguet's "Marine", "Marine II", "Classique", and "Tradition"! This is just a guide, but please read to the end and use it as a reference!

The Marine was released as a sports model by the same brand in the 1990s. Here, we will introduce the solid gold model!

While many of the designs are classical and elegant, the Marine, with its rugged and large impression, has become a hot topic as a Breguet watch that stands out from the rest. Although it has a sporty design, it uses designs unique to the brand, such as guilloche engraving and coin edges, making it a model that combines tradition and innovation. Another big attraction is that the selling price is kept low despite the high resale value.

The "Marine II" was released in 2004 as a successor to the "Marine" with a more sporty design . Here we will introduce the solid gold model!

The previously introduced "Marine" is now available with a rubber strap and stainless steel bracelet, making it more versatile for both formal and casual wear. This is one of the most popular models from the brand, and while it is a highly waterproof sports model, it also exudes a dressy and elegant atmosphere.

The "Classic" model has a simple appearance and incorporates traditional elements of Breguet . Here, we will introduce the solid gold model!

The "Classique" incorporates Breguet's unique designs such as Breguet hands, Breguet numerals, guilloche dials, and coin edges, and is particularly popular among enthusiastic fans and connoisseurs. It is available in a wide variety of variations, and there are a wide variety of derivative models such as "Silicion", "Aura Mundi", and "Chronometrie 7727 ". It is recommended for those who want to experience the traditional design of the brand, or for those who want a simple dress model.

"Tradition" was inspired by the pocket watches sold at Subscription. Here we will introduce the solid gold model!
( *Subscription: When selling a watch, a deposit is received first, and then the materials are purchased and the watch is made to order.)

"Tradition" is equipped with the shock absorbing device "Parachute" developed by Abraham-Louis Breguet in 1794 and the "variable inertia balance" that always keeps accurate time. It features two mechanisms that were installed in the movements of pocket watches, which were mainstream in the past, reproduced for wristwatches. Another attractive feature is that the dial is off-center, allowing you to view the intricate movement from both the front and back, and it is a model that anyone who wants to experience the true beauty of a watch should definitely try.

What did you think.

The selling price of a watch varies greatly depending on various factors, such as the current trend, the balance between supply and demand, the condition of the watch, whether it has rare features, its year of manufacture, whether it has accessories, etc. In short, the selling price is determined by a combination of many factors, but by knowing the approximate selling price, you can set a goal for how much money you will need.
