Is the Breitling Navitimer B01 46 (Ref. AB0137211B1A1) worth it?

WatchMerit currently rates the Ref. AB0137211B1A1 a Hold. Sideways; Kern-era rebrand effects largely priced in.

Any offer between $11,718 and $13,482 is considered a fair price — that's a ±7% band around the median. Below that range is under-market; above it is overpriced.

Full-set examples (box, papers, unpolished) sit near the middle of that range. Watch out for missing papers or heavy polishing — expect a 5–15% discount from median in those cases. International grey-market listings can look cheaper but almost always add GST, import duty and freight once landed.

Every live listing on WatchMerit is auto-labelled Under Market, Fair Price or Overpriced against this band, so you never have to guess.

Sideways; Kern-era rebrand effects largely priced in. Collector demand is currently Medium — Pilot-watch crowd; less crossover demand.
