How to Sell a Hublot Watch

Hublot watches are generally characterized by bold designs, intricate dials, innovative materials, and oversized cases, many of which feature intricate complications. While the brand can be controversial, and often criticized by certain watch enthusiast circles, Hublot also boasts a large and loyal following of fans who appreciate its distinctive watches. As such, knowing how and who to sell your Hublot watch is important to achieve the best results.

While we cover all the fundamentals in our ultimate guide on how to sell your luxury watch, there are some brand-specific tips that’ll make selling a Hublot watch even easier. Let’s get into the details.

Identify the Hublot Reference and Serial Numbers

The first task when selling a Hublot watch is to locate its reference number, which denotes the specific model, case material, dial style, and strap type of the watch. If you have the original warranty card of the Hublot you’re selling, you can find the reference number (also known as the model number) there. Hublot does not engrave reference numbers on its watches, so if you no longer have any of the original documentation, you’ll have to do a little research to figure it out.

Hublot watches do have a serial number engraved on the caseback, which is unique to each watch. If you register the watch on Hublot’s website via the Hublotista portal using this serial number, you’ll see all the information (including the reference number) about your watch.

Remember to never publicly divulge the serial number of your watch; blur it out on any photos you share online and do not include it in any descriptions. This information can be used by counterfeiters.

Collect Accompanying Box and Papers

If possible, collect all the original packaging and documentation of the Hublot watch you want to sell. A complete set with boxes, papers, warranty cards, service records can result in an increase of 10 to 20% in the selling price compared to a “naked” watch, sold without any of accompanying items.

If your Hublot is relatively new and still under warranty, you may be eligible for a warranty extension via the company’s e-warranty app. It may be worth checking if your watch qualifies since selling a Hublot watch under warranty may be enticing for prospective buyers.

Determine the Value of Your Hublot

Retail prices for Hublot watches can vary quite significantly, starting from about $13,000 to well into the six-figure range. Similar to most high-end watch brands these days, Hublot does publish the manufacturer’s suggested retail prices (MSRP) on its website. However, if you’re selling a Hublot watch, you’ll need to research the market value of your particular model.

You can start your price research by reading our guide to Hublot Big Bang prices or by browse the assortment of Hublot watches for sale at Luxury Bazaar. Following that, you can also check out these other sources to gauge the approximate market value of your particular Hublot timepiece:

• WatchCharts
• Chrono24
• eBay Sold Listings
• Pre-Owned Watch Specialists and Grey Market Dealer Websites

Keep in mind the prices you’ll see published online will always be more than what you’ll be paid for selling your Hublot watch. Companies like pre-owned watch dealers and grey market dealers have to cover business costs and private buyers generally want some room for negotiations. Prices listed on these watch selling platforms also include markups for platform fees.

Should I Service My Hublot Before Selling It?

For the most part, it is not recommended to service your Hublot before selling it. A Hublot service is pricey and it’s highly unlikely that you’ll recover that cost when you sell the watch. Additionally, professional buyers such as grey market dealers and pre-owned watch retailers will inspect the watch and service it if necessary before reselling it.
