Selling from Melbourne
A Melbourne Cartier quote can move from photographs to our Toorak counter.
A Santos with a full bracelet, a small Panthère and a vintage Tank each need different measurements and reference details. Melbourne sellers can submit those first, then choose a confirmed visit to 428E Toorak Road or an arranged DHL collection after acceptance.
Melbourne sellers can begin online and then choose the most suitable next step: a DHL collection or an appointment with the Lost Watches team at 428E Toorak Road, Toorak VIC 3142. For Cartier, Santos and Tank can call for different evidence, so the exact reference and configuration should be clear before the next step is discussed.
Submitting photographs first avoids carrying a valuable Cartier across Melbourne unnecessarily. We review the details, send your direct-purchase quote and confirm the handover after acceptance. With a Cartier, the full record should describe the specific model, present condition and included items rather than relying on the collection name alone.

Models we buy
Cartier models for Melbourne sellers.
These are popular Cartier collections we buy from Melbourne owners. Send the details and photographs of another reference for a personal quote.
01
Cartier Santos
Santos de Cartier, Santos-Dumont and selected Santos Galbée references reviewed by size, metal, movement, bezel, bracelet and included links. For a Toorak appointment, have the complete bracelet or strap and matching documents ready to compare beside the watch.
02
Cartier Tank
Tank Louis Cartier, Française, Américaine, Must and selected vintage references assessed by case proportions, dial, movement, hallmarks and originality. If collection is more convenient than a visit, place accessory photographs in the same file before the Melbourne handover is arranged.
03
Cartier Panthère
Mini, small, medium and jewellery configurations considered by reference, metal, bracelet condition and whether any stone setting is documented as factory original. Close condition views help the team decide whether an in-person review is the useful next step.
04
Cartier Ballon Bleu & Pasha
Selected automatic, quartz, precious-metal and complicated references reviewed by exact size, calibre, crown details, accessories and current demand. Relevant service or warranty material can be discussed before a confirmed appointment is set.
A quote built around your watch
A quote for your exact watch.
Useful details about the exact Cartier configuration help us prepare an accurate quote for a Melbourne seller.
01
Reference, size and movement
Case measurements, reference numbers and whether the watch is mechanical or quartz help identify the correct Cartier generation and comparison. At an arranged Toorak handover, these details can be compared with the physical watch rather than guessed from memory.
02
Factory configuration
Dial, case metal, bracelet, crown, cabochon and any diamonds must be considered together. Aftermarket alterations can materially change demand. Keep the present condition intact for the first review; there is no need to polish the watch for an appointment.
03
Case and bracelet condition
Polishing, scratches, bracelet stretch, missing links, clasp wear and softened hallmarks are reviewed in clear photographs from several angles. Group included items with the watch in the initial photographs so the appointment file matches the handover.
04
Documents and service
Cartier papers, service invoices, original box, spare links, straps and buckles can support the identity and completeness of the watch. Bring surviving documents and spare components to a confirmed appointment where practical.
Photograph it once, clearly

Melbourne seller questions
Selling a Cartier locally.
01Does Lost Watches buy Cartier watches from Melbourne?+
Yes. We buy selected modern, vintage and jewellery-led Cartier watches across the Santos, Tank, Panthère, Ballon Bleu and Pasha collections from Melbourne. Send the exact watch details and photographs to request a direct-purchase quote.
02Which Cartier models can I sell in Melbourne?+
We buy selected Santos, Tank, Panthère, Ballon Bleu, Pasha and other Cartier references. The precise model, size, metal, movement and factory configuration help us prepare the direct-purchase quote. For a Melbourne submission, list the exact reference even when you already know the collection name.
03How do you prepare a quote for my Cartier in Melbourne?+
Cartier value depends on the exact reference, size, case metal, movement, dial, bracelet or strap configuration and whether diamonds or other decorative elements are factory-set. Similar-looking watches can belong to very different production periods and price categories. Your quote is based on the information and photographs you submit. If a material difference is found when the watch is received, we contact you before any change is made. A Toorak appointment can be discussed after the online quote; do not bring or move the watch until it is confirmed.
04Can I sell a Cartier in Melbourne without box and papers?+
Yes. A Cartier without papers may still be considered. Clear reference markings, ownership history, condition and photographs of all included accessories become especially useful. Tell us exactly what accompanies the watch in your Melbourne submission.
05Where is Lost Watches based?+
Yes. Our boutique is at 428E Toorak Road, Toorak VIC 3142. Begin online, receive your quote and call ahead so we can arrange the right appointment after acceptance. This applies to the Cartier buying service described on this page.
06What happens after I submit my Cartier?+
A specialist reviews the Cartier file and sends your quote or asks for any additional detail needed. After acceptance, choose a confirmed Toorak appointment or arranged DHL collection.
