Finding serial number of previous Apple Watch removed from account

[SnippetySnip]

Is there a way of finding out the serial number of an Apple Watch that was previously registered to my Apple account?
I recently updated from a series 4 to a series 7 and wiped and removed the series 4 from my Apple account, boxed it up and sold it to a re-seller. They're claiming it hasn't arrived and need proof of the watch's existence by providing the serial number before claiming on insurance.
Is there any way I can retrospectively find out the serial numbers of previously registered devices on my account?

Yes. Search your email for ones with the subject "Your Apple invoice". You will have an invoice with the serial number of the watch there. If you deleted that then you might have to call Apple because you can't just see all of your past orders on the website.

The slight problem is that the watch was a gift so I never actually bought it in the first place, and therefore don't have an invoice from Apple.

Then whomever gifted you the watch will have the invoice from Apple?

Also, if you had AppleCare+ on the watch, or made any warranty service claims with Apple, any of those communications will have the serial number of the watch in them.
