Valuing Your IWC Watch
Our highly trained specialists consider many factors when valuing your IWC watch to ensure we provide you with the most accurate and up to date valuation. The most important factors are:
Model
IWC watches can increase in value over time. A marriage of American engineering and Swiss craftsmanship, the Pilot models can attract especially favourable loan estimates if you are considering pawning your IWC watch.
Age and Condition
With the first IWC watch made in 1868, we provide valuations on IWCs that might be over a century old. While age may not detract from a high valuation, we also scrutinise the condition. While some wear and tear is inevitable, significant scratches or restoration marks can affect our valuation.
Provenance
We can still provide you with a loan estimate if you only have the IWC watch itself. However, the original box and any connected papers or certificate of sale can dramatically increase our valuation.
Market Value
IWC timepieces are often in high demand, with some models – the Pilot watch – known to set records at auction. Our valuation looks at the individual watch but also takes into account recent IWC sale and auction documentation to provide the most accurate valuation.
We also check your watch against loss and stolen registers as part of our due diligence.
Looking After Your IWC Watch
Transport
If you use our courier service to have your IWC watch(s) collected from your home or you send your items to us, they will be insured up to £10,000 during transportation.
If your IWC watch is of high value and you use our staff collection service, your items will also be insured up to £100,000 during transportation.
Storage
Whilst your IWC watch(s) is with us to be valued by our specialists or if your item is under loan with us, it is stored in protective packaging in our highly secure vaults.
Care
When your IWC watch(s) is with us, we take every step necessary to look after your luxury valuables. Our valuation specialists and inventory managers handle your IWC watch(s) with care to make sure your luxury valuables are returned to you in the same condition we received them in.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why IWC watches are so expensive?

Are IWC watches good quality?
IWC watches are some of the best quality watches in the world and the brand is most famous for its pilot or aviation watches and use of titanium material. It’s pilot watches fall into five categories: Classic, Spitfire, Top Gun, Le Petit Prince, and Antoine de Saint Exupery. Some of the Le Petit Prince models feature illustrations from the classic children’s book.
Are IWC watches worth the money?
IWC watches are thought to be superb investments that can generate generous pawn valuations. This is often because IWC watches are made in very limited numbers and the market demand is, therefore, often high.
How much does IWC watch cost?
While a new Portofino Chronograph or Aquatimer Automatic might set you back around £5,000, a classic or in-demand IWC watch could fetch many more times that at auction, with the IWC Siderale Scafusia capable of taking over £500,000.
Is IWC better than Rolex?
Rolex is considered to be the best watch brand in the world, so on the surface, it appears that Rolex would edge ahead of IWC.
