Cartier watch auctions: Tank, Santos and Panthère, searched at once

Cartier built its watch reputation on design rather than complication, the Tank and Santos shapes have stayed instantly recognisable for over a century, and originality of dial, strap and case is what separates a desirable vintage reference from a heavily serviced or redialled example. Boxes, warranty cards and instruction cases are often sold separately and worth searching for in their own right.

Why Cartier lots get missed

Cartier pieces frequently get catalogued under a general "lady's watch" or "gent's dress watch" description with no model name given, particularly at general estate and jewellery auctions, so a genuine Tank or Santos can pass unnoticed by anyone not searching every platform at once.

One search across every platform

Auction Bid Assistant's free browser extension searches the-saleroom, EasyLive, Bidspotter, Invaluable, NumisBids, iCollector and LiveAuctionWorld simultaneously, alongside eBay. Search a model name like "Tank" or "Santos," a reference number, or "Cartier" generally and results return across all of them, with images, estimates, current bids where shown, and sale countdowns, sorted by platform in tabs.

Real results for "Cartier watch": a genuine Cartier Tank 2384 plus original boxes and warranty document cases, found in one search.

It works by searching from inside your own browser, the same as opening and searching each site yourself, just done in seconds. Nothing is stored on our servers, permissions are minimal, and the extension never places a bid on your behalf.

Alerts: for the model you're after

Save a search (a model name, a reference number, or "Cartier" generally) and get emailed the moment a new lot matches it, across all covered platforms including eBay, rather than relying on remembering to check each one.

Want to try before installing?

The same search box works on this website with no install at all for eBay, iCollector, LiveAuctionWorld and Featured Auction catalogues, a quick way to see matching Cartier lots before adding the rest of the platforms via the extension.

Built for how Cartier collectors actually work

Save any lot with one click from search results, export your shortlist as a printable PDF or CSV before a sale, and on the day itself the optional live bridge feeds the auctioneer's asking price into the free bid calculator, so your maximum (with buyer's premium and VAT included) is always in front of you.
