There is no verified, like-for-like top ten of the most expensive Cartier watches in the available published figures. Cartier reports a 1970s London Crash sold for $1,503,888 in 2022, while its current product pages show selected watches at prices that vary by market, currency, materials and complications. Those figures answer different questions: an auction result is a completed sale; a retail listing is an asking price. Here are ten notable high-value Cartier examples, clearly separated rather than presented as a definitive ranking.
How to read this list
The examples below are not ranked from first to tenth by price. Cartier’s published information does not provide comparable realized auction prices or current retail prices for ten watches. Instead, this selected list distinguishes documented auction sales from current displayed retail prices and historically significant models whose prices are not established here.
- Auction result: a reported completed sale, tied to a date and venue.
- Retail listing: a displayed price for a particular market and page at the time checked; it may change and is not an auction valuation.
- Historical example: a model Cartier identifies in its Collection, without a price or valuation supplied on that page.
All current-listing prices below were retrieved on October 8, 2026. Availability and displayed prices can change.
Two documented high-value Cartier auction sales
1. 1970s Cartier London Crash — reported sale: $1,503,888
Cartier reports that a 1970s Cartier London Crash sold on Loupe This on May 4, 2022, for $1,503,888. Its pre-sale estimate was $500,000–$800,000. This is a reported result for that watch and sale, not evidence of an all-time Cartier auction record. Cartier says the Crash is “traditionally said” to depict an interpretation of a watch damaged in a crash; that phrasing presents the origin as a tradition, not a confirmed account. Cartier’s Crash and auction article discusses the model and sale.

2. Cartier Cheich — reported sale: CHF 800,000
In its 2022 article, Cartier reports that a Cheich watch sold in Geneva for CHF 800,000, describing the result as a world record at the time. The article’s cited information does not give enough sale detail to compare this result directly with every Cartier auction result, and the Swiss-franc figure should not be ranked against a US-dollar result without a defined conversion method and date. Cartier’s “Going once” article reports the sale.

Tortue Monopoussoir Chronograph
The Tortue Monopoussoir Chronograph is another featured 10th-edition Privé model. Its presence in the collection makes it a relevant high-end contemporary example, but the cited page does not establish a complete price for ranking. Cartier Privé
Crash Skeleton
Cartier also names the Crash Skeleton among the 10th-edition Privé models. It is distinct from the vintage London Crash that achieved the reported 2022 auction result; a modern model’s place in the same design family does not establish that it has the same market value. The cited page does not give a complete price. Cartier Privé

Historic Cartier watches with no price established here
Cartier’s Collection highlights rare historical examples, including a 1928 Tortue minute repeater, a 1929 Tutti Frutti bracelet-watch and a 1967 Cartier London Crash. These entries offer historical context, not valuations. Without documented sale results or current comparable listings for each, their prices cannot responsibly be inferred or slotted into a top ten. Cartier Collection
So, what is the most expensive Cartier watch?
Among the figures cited here, the clearest documented auction result is the 1970s Cartier London Crash at $1,503,888 on May 4, 2022. Cartier also reports the Cheich’s CHF 800,000 Geneva sale. Neither fact proves an all-time record across all Cartier watches. The highest displayed retail price in these examples is the US Panthère listing at $153,000, but that is a particular current listing—not a definitive comparison of every Cartier watch on sale worldwide.

The available figures do not meet that standard, so an ordered top ten would imply certainty the evidence does not support.
