About the Cosmograph Daytona 116528
The Rolex Cosmograph Daytona 116528 is a reference in the Rolex Cosmograph Daytona collection. From our catalog: a 40 mm case in 18k yellow gold; bezel: Polished 18k yellow 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
Counting only completed sales, 31 sit inside the window that sets the figure (26 eBay sales and 5 auction results), and the dated list covers November 2023 to September 2026. The peak month for transactions was December 2025 (5). Auction results here come from Sotheby's, Antiquorum and Phillips. Our confidence in it is moderate, so read the range as the likely zone rather than a promise for any one watch. The newest sale is 53 days old. We cannot yet grade its price swings: the last quarter holds too few results. A fair price for the 116528 can sit anywhere from about 35% below to 35% above the midpoint. Sales are thin, so older results keep their weight longer (a half-life of 180 days).
Year on year, the median sale is up 0.4% (16 sales against 15). We hold sales for it back to November 2009; a long-run summary needs at least five years of record. Saleroom and marketplace disagree by about 5%: eBay sits below the auction median, based on 12 eBay sales against 4 auction results.
Missing the box and papers costs about 14% on this reference, going by 5 bare-watch sales across its line. The listed sales split 10 full sets to 1 watch-only and 4 partial, with 1 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. The lowest listed sale, on December 6, 2024 (on eBay, set not stated), came in about 64% below the worth-about figure; the highest, on February 12, 2026 (on eBay, set not stated), about 54% above the worth-about figure.
