Tank and Panthère Lead Cartier’s Resurgence on The Wristcheck Watch Index
These Cartier models are appreciating despite the overall WC100 decline
The Cartier 25 Index (CAR25) on Wristcheck traces the real-time performance of the 25 most traded Cartier models on the secondary watch market. Over the past three months, most of the popular models have been trending down, as seen from the Wristcheck 100 (WC100), Chronograph 50 (CHR50), and Rolex 50 (RLX50) indices. While many of the models included in CAR25 are too, at the moment of writing this, experiencing a decline on the secondary market, some of the entries have witnessed some growth (which still, however, wasn’t enough to take these watches over the threshold of their retail prices).
Panthère de Cartier Rose Gold & Steel Diamond White Dial 22mm
Over the past 90 days, the rose gold and stainless steel variant of Panthère de Cartier with diamonds has appreciated almost 12 percent in its value on the secondary watch market. Starting at US$ 10,683 on July 23rd, the ref. W3PN0006 peaked at US$ 11,369 on September 11th before experiencing a slight decrease and reaching US$ 11,236 on October 23rd, about 10 percent under its retail price.
Tank MC Steel Silver Dial 34mm
