About the Cosmograph Daytona 116505
The Rolex Cosmograph Daytona 116505 is a reference in the Rolex Cosmograph Daytona collection. From our catalog: a 40 mm case in 18k Everose gold; bezel: Polished 18k Everose gold bezel with engraved tachymeter scale; movement: Rolex calibre 4130 (automatic chronograph). The specifications below list every fact we have sourced for this reference; anything we could not source is marked as not known.
What the sales say
We count 39 transactions toward its estimate, 31 eBay sales and 8 auction results; the earliest entry shown is from December 2023, the latest from October 2026. Sales bunched in November 2024, which alone accounts for 5 of them. The auction side of the record is Antiquorum, Lyon & Turnbull and Phillips. Confidence is high: plenty of recent, consistent sales, and a backtest record to match. The newest sale is under two weeks old. There were too few sales in the last 90 days for a volatility label. A fair price for the 116505 can sit anywhere from about 25% below to 25% above the midpoint. Sales are thin, so older results keep their weight longer (a half-life of 180 days).
On a like-for-like annual view the median climbed 4.4%, comparing 19 recent sales with 20 earlier ones. Its first recorded sale dates from January 2009, so a decade-scale view will have to wait. The two channels agree here, with medians about 1% apart (16 eBay sales against 3 auction results).
A watch-only example is priced about 14% below a full set here, a gap measured from 5 watch-only sales in the collection. The listed sales split 24 full sets to 0 watch-only and 8 partial, with 4 unworn; the rest gave no set details. Unworn full sets sell about 5% above worn ones across our data, so an unworn example sits above the headline. Listed sales ran from about 62% below the worth-about figure (October 18, 2024, on eBay, set not stated) to about 40% above the worth-about figure (June 9, 2024, at Phillips, set not stated), which is the spread a seller should expect.
