The Breitling Watch Source Forums

Hi all,

Just found this forum looking for information on my Breitling and, as you can see, this is my first post here so please bear with me.

I have recently been given a Breitling Windrider Chronomat, model number A13352 as a gift from my father in law . It has a mother of pearl face and diamond bezel, identical to the watch seen here..

I am trying to get it insured, however I need to find out how much the watch is worth. I was told that it was bought in America for around $10,000, which would kind of tally with the advert above, priced at €5000, which states - "This stunning example is a give-away at less than half price".

However, I have called Breitling UK to find out what they retail for and was told that they stopped making them in 2004 and the last price they have is £5,430.

I am confused as obviously these prices do not correlate, so what I am trying to find out is, roughly how much is this watch worth now?

Thanks

It depends a lot on the bezel. If it is a factory diamond bezel with all of the Breitling paperwork then it is worth a lot more than an aftermarket bezel where the price will be dictated by the quality of diamonds used.

A regular chronomat is going to be worth $3,000 - $3,500 give or take, but that will also be affected by the condition, service history, bracelet or strap, etc. A MOP dial will add $150 or so to that, nothing substantial.

Even with factory diamonds this isn't a $10,000 watch.

Thanks for the reply, roughly how much are we talking then? I'm intrigued as I've seen the newer model, the Chronomat Evolution, going for a lot more e.g. this one, which has an RRP of £10,760..

Thanks again

The price Breitling gave you is about correct. The equivalent watch today would be the Chrono Galactic. :ie 20mm lugs/39mm case.
The Diamond Bezel/SS/18K version is priced at £7,930 on a Lizard Strap.Knock off £160 for the Strap and add £940.00 for a SS Pilot Bracelet =£8,710 minus a few hundred for the 18K. Around £8000 for the latest version. Second hand with all papers you would get around 30-40 %. I would guess about £2,400-£3,200..
I wish my Father-in-Law would give me a present.....

That seems about right.

List price is completely irrelevant as this watch is at least 6 years old.
