GEMOLOGIST / FORENSIC EXPERT

In a constantly evolving and rapidly expanding market—especially for watches—Francine has many strengths that account for her strong reputation.
She draws on her professionalism, skill, expertise, and in-depth knowledge of the market and its trends—gained through her participation in numerous art fairs in France, notably the Biennale des Antiquaires, as well as abroad in Hong Kong and Miami, among other places.

THE WATCH, A TRENDY PIECE OF JEWELRY…
Francine Joaillerie specializes in appraising, buying, and selling luxury watches.
Today, a watch is much more than just a timepiece; above all, it is an accessory—a piece of jewelry that meets both aesthetic and highly technical standards.
While a watch is most often a “pleasure investment,” it is also a “marker” of social status, fashion, and trends.
For these reasons, the pre-owned market is a sector that is constantly growing, featuring iconic brands such as Rolex, Audemars Piguet, Jaeger-LeCoultre, Patek Philippe, Omega, IWC, Breguet, and others…
For these reasons, the pre-owned market is a sector that is constantly growing, featuring iconic brands such as Rolex, Audemars Piguet, Jaeger-LeCoultre, Patek Philippe, Omega, IWC, Breguet, and others…
Some of these models are produced in limited editions and are therefore rare and highly sought after by customers who know that buying a Rolex or a Patek Philippe guarantees a watch with an unlimited lifespan and ensures that it will not lose value if resold. Unfortunately, fakes and counterfeits are circulating, so this is a market where one must exercise the utmost caution.
In addition to her website, Francine has had a brick-and-mortar store in Saint-Tropez since 1993. She has also been participating for years in major international trade shows, such as those in Miami and Hong Kong. Her professionalism, personal touch, and extensive expertise will ensure you have a highly secure transaction, with the guarantee that your watch has been inspected, authenticated, and serviced.
PRESTIGIOUS JEWELRY
Francine Joaillerie has also chosen to offer its customers prestigious jewelry—whether modern or vintage, timeless and rare, set with gemstones or not.
Necklaces, bracelets, rings, pendants, brooches, and earrings—retro styles from the 1930s, vintage pieces from the 1970s and 1980s, and items from the most prestigious brands on Place Vendôme (Cartier, Bulgari, Van Cleef & Arpels…) are waiting for a new lease on life and a new owner who appreciates “beauty.”
