What is your gold watch worth?
The value of a gold watch is primarily determined by the gold itself. The weight and carat content play a decisive role in this. An 18-carat gold watch contains 75% pure gold, while 14-carat gold consists of 58.5% gold. The higher the gold percentage, the higher the intrinsic value per gram.
In addition, it is important to determine whether the watch is made of solid gold or is gold-plated. A gold-plated watch contains only a thin layer of gold and generally has a lower intrinsic value than a solid gold model.
During a professional appraisal, the watch is carefully tested and weighed using calibrated equipment. You will receive a clear explanation of the determined carat weight and the gold price per gram applied, based on the current international gold price.
Selling by the gram or as a brand-name watch?
The value of a gold watch can be assessed in two ways: based on the weight of the gold or based on the brand and collector's value. Some luxury watches represent a higher market value than the mere value of the gold, especially when it comes to renowned brands or rare models.
An expert appraisal takes into account:
- The exact weight of the gold
- The determined carat content
- The current gold price
- The condition of the watch
- The brand and any collector's value
By assessing these elements together, you can obtain an objective and balanced picture of the value. This prevents a valuable watch from being assessed solely as scrap gold, when it may actually have a higher market value.
