IWC Preliminary Assessment
Sell Your IWC in Istanbul
To sell, trade or consign an IWC, share its reference, condition, warranty card, box and photographs through the watch assessment form. The ART Jewellery & Watches team reviews the Portugieser, Pilot's Watch and other IWC models and, where appropriate, arranges an appointment at Zorlu Center, Istanbul.
Your IWC Reference
IWC references start with IW followed by six digits; IW371605, for example, is a Portugieser Chronograph reference. The first four digits identify the model and the last two the dial and case variant. The reference is shown on the warranty card.
Warranty Registration and Set
The IWC warranty card, box, proof of purchase and service records complete the set. If you registered the watch with the brand to extend its warranty, mention it in the form. On larger Pilot's Watch and Portugieser models, the case edges and dial should be clearly visible in the photographs.
Sale, Trade and Consignment
The suitable route depends on the reference, condition, set, service history and market demand. On Portugieser complications, the calendar and power-reserve functions are checked individually. Submitting the form does not create an offer; final terms are agreed after the watch has been examined.
IWC Selling FAQ
Can I sell my IWC without its warranty card?
Yes. Proof of purchase and service records support the watch's history, and the missing card is taken into account.
Are the Portugieser and Pilot's Watch assessed the same way?
The core criteria are the same: reference, condition, set and service history. Market demand is considered separately for each collection and reference.
Can an IWC with a faulty function be assessed?
Yes. Describe any chronograph, calendar or power-reserve fault in the form; the required service is reflected in the assessment after physical inspection.
Do I need to visit Zorlu Center for the valuation?
The preliminary assessment can start online. A private appointment at Zorlu Center, Istanbul may be needed for the final inspection and completion.
