Full set
A full set is a watch sold with everything it came with when new: the presentation box, the warranty papers (a warranty card or certificate) and usually the booklets, tags and outer box.
Buyers pay more for a full set because the papers tie the watch to a dated, authorised sale, which helps with authenticity and provenance, and because a complete set is easier to resell. Our market values are quoted for a pre-owned full set; each watch page also shows the value without box and papers.
Live data: across all watches we track, our model currently measures a watch without its box at -1.8% and without its papers at -10.7% versus a full set, adjusted for everything else (model fmv-v1, fitted 12 Nov 2026).
