Cartier Watch Serial Number Located

ANSWER:

I specialize in buying and selling Cartier watches. I've seenfakes with all the correct marks and a serial number, but thatdoesn't mean they are legitimate. If the watch was registered byCartier when it was sold or if it has been sent in to Cartier forservice Cartier will be able to verify it is authentic, but beaware that if the watch was not originally sold in North America orwas not registered when sold (fairly common) it can still beauthentic. Some sellers offer the Cartier quartz model for sale andonly state that the watch has a quartz movement, but fail tomention if it has a Cartier quartz movement. If it has areplacement movement in it the watch is technically authentic, butnot original and is not worth as much as one with an original or agenuine Cartier replacement movement. The biggest mistake I've seenamateur Cartier buyers make is using the Cartier micro-scriptsignature on the Roman numeral to verify authenticity. Indeed thisis a good indicator, but not the best indicator as there were manyCartier watches produced prior to the technology required to makethe micro-script possible and not all Cartier watches have Romannumerals for the dial to have the micro-script signature.Furthermore, the micro-script is not always located at the sameplace and if the dial has been refinished it may not appear at all.Another common problem is actually caused by language differences,i.e. 'all original versus 'authentic'. A watch can be authenticwithout being all original. Unless someone has owned the watchsince it was new and it has never left their sight it is impossiblefor them to state the watch is 'all original' as a part could havebeen replaced at some point in time -- even without theirknowledge. Your best bet is to buy from a reputable seller even ifyou have to pay slightly more money. -- Cartier_Specialist

Watch

Every Rolex is engraved with a unique serial number. This indicates what year the watch was made, and can be used to authenticate and value the timepiece.
To find out your Rolex's manufacture date, simply search its unique serial number in our Rolex serial number database below.

A note on Rolexes produced after autumn 2009: In autumn 2009, Rolex started using a random numbering system to generate its serial numbers. The only way to identify the exact date of a Rolex produced in late 2009 onwards is to take it into an official Rolex dealer.

A note on Rolexes with a serial number between 100,000 and 999,999: When Rolex made their millionth watch, they confusingly restarted their serial numbers at 100,000 instead of carrying on with a seven-digit code. If your Rolex's serial number falls between 100,000 and 999,999, you'll therefore need to take it to a trusted jeweller to have it accurately dated, although our tool will be able to tell you its two possible production dates.

Where to find a Rolex's serial number?

Every genuine Rolex has a unique serial number. It will be in one of two places, depending when it was made.

  • Pre-2005: Between the lugs of the 6 o'clock side
  • 2005 onwards: On the inner bezel (dial rehaut)

If your watch was made before 2005, you'll find its serial number engraved on the case between the lugs (the 'horns' that attach to the bracelet) of the 6 o'clock side. You'll need to remove the watch's band to see it. If you're not confident about doing this yourself, take it to a jeweller.

In 2005, Rolex began laser-engraving the serial number on the inner bezel, or dial rehaut, as well as between the lugs of the 6 o'clock side of the case. In 2008, the company switched to only engraving the serial number on the inner bezel, as this is much harder to counterfeit.

The inner bezel is the ring that runs around the inside of the watch's bezel, perpendicular to the face. Rolex watches made from 2005 onwards will have the word 'Rolex' repeated around the inner bezel, with the brand logo at the 12 o'clock position and the serial number at 6 o'clock.

Once you've found your Rolex's serial number, simply search for it in our tool or on our handy database to discover its production date.

Do fake Rolexes have serial numbers?

If a Rolex doesn't have a serial number, then it isn't genuine.

Serial numbers can be faked, but this is extremely difficult to do well — especially on the inner bezel, where you find the serial number of Rolexes made after 2005. Fraudsters tend to acid-etch the serial number onto the watch rather than engrave it, as engraving is much more difficult. Fake serial numbers often look poorly engraved or very faint.

Some imitations are so well-made it takes an expert eye to tell them apart from the real thing. If you're not sure a Rolex is genuine, take it in to a trusted jeweller and have it appraised.
