Pre-owned Cartier watches and jewellery: the house of rue de la Paix is one of the very few to excel in both watchmaking and high jewellery. At Francine Joaillerie, every second-hand Cartier piece is authenticated, checked and guaranteed: hallmarks and serial numbers, movement inspection for watches, setting checks for jewellery.
On the watch side, choose between the great historic lines, Santos, Tank, Ballon Bleu or Panthère. On the jewellery side, the Love, Juste un Clou and Trinity icons are worn daily and stack beautifully. The pre-owned market gives immediate access to these classics, including sizes and references sold out in boutiques.

| Trinity | Three interlaced bands, three golds, designed in 1924 | Legendary rings and wedding bands |
Founded in Paris in 1847 by Louis-François Cartier, the house was famously called "the jeweller of kings and the king of jewellers". A pioneer of the modern wristwatch with the Santos and then the Tank, creator of jewels that became universal codes, Cartier holds a unique position: its pieces cross generations without ageing, which makes them particularly sought-after second-hand.
Maker's and fineness hallmarks, engraved serial number, quality of setting and polish, gold weight: our experts check every detail. Pieces are sold with a Francine Joaillerie certificate of authenticity and, when they reach us complete, their original box and papers.
Yes, every Love bracelet we sell comes with a functioning closing system, checked by our jewellers before sale.
