What the sales say
140 sold results feed this range, 130 eBay sales and 10 auction results. The oldest sale listed here is dated November 11, 2023 and the newest October 17, 2026, a span of about 35 months. September 2026 saw the most activity, 11 sales in a single month. Auction results here come from Grailzee, Gardiner Houlgate and Phillips. Confidence is high: plenty of recent, consistent sales, and a backtest record to match. Its latest sale is recent, inside the last fortnight. Recent prices sit close together (Stable, a typical spread of about 9% over 90 days). A fair price for the 116503 can sit anywhere from about 25% below to 25% above the midpoint. With steady but not heavy trading, the estimate gives a sale half its weight after 180 days.
Compared with the previous year, prices for the 116503 are 9.4% higher on the median. Its long record (forum listings marked sold (listed prices, not confirmed sales)) runs from 2017: today's twelve-month median is up 60% on that start, after a low in 2017 and a high in 2022. Marketplace and saleroom prices line up closely, about 0% apart, on 64 eBay sales against 8 auction results.
Missing the box and papers costs about 14% on this reference, going by 5 bare-watch sales across its line. Of the 223 sales listed, 95 came as a full set, 0 as the watch alone and 23 with part of the set; 8 were described as unworn. Unworn full sets sell about 5% above worn ones across our data, so an unworn example sits above the headline. At the bottom of the list is a sale from December 8, 2024, on eBay, set not stated, about 63% below the worth-about figure; at the top, November 13, 2025, on eBay, set not stated, about 56% above the worth-about figure.
