About the Cosmograph Daytona 116518
The Rolex Cosmograph Daytona 116518 is a reference in the Rolex Cosmograph Daytona collection. From our catalog: a case in 18k yellow gold. 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
The range for the 116518 rests on 29 sold results (24 eBay sales and 5 auction results), and the sales we list run from November 2023 to September 2026. No month was busier than September 2026, when 4 changed hands. On the auction side, the results are from Bukowskis, Sotheby's and Antiquorum. That record is deep enough for a high-confidence label, the level whose ranges held up best when we tested them on later sales. The last recorded result is 28 days old, recent enough to anchor the figure. We cannot yet grade its price swings: the last quarter holds too few results. A fair price for the 116518 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).
Compared with the previous year, prices for the 116518 are 34.5% higher on the median. Its sales history in our records starts in March 2010, too recent for a long-run comparison yet. Its eBay median for the last 12 months sits about 21% above the auction median (13 eBay sales against 3 auction results); auction figures include the buyer's premium.
Missing the box and papers costs about 14% on this reference, going by 5 bare-watch sales across its line. Set details where stated: 10 with box and papers, 0 without, 7 with one or the other. The lowest listed sale, on May 18, 2025 (on eBay, set not stated), came in about 49% below the worth-about figure; the highest, on May 12, 2024 (at Phillips, set not stated), about 39% above the worth-about figure.
Nearest in price within the same collection: Cosmograph Daytona 16519 price, Cosmograph Daytona 116500LN price and Cosmograph Daytona 126500LN price.
