What the sales say
Between November 2023 and October 2026 we recorded the sales listed on this page, and 20 of them count toward today's range: 16 eBay sales and 4 auction results. The peak month for transactions was September 2026 (3). The auction side of the record is Grailzee and Monaco Legend Group. Confidence is high: plenty of recent, consistent sales, and a backtest record to match. Its most recent sale came 27 days before this data run. We cannot yet grade its price swings: the last quarter holds too few results. A fair price for the 126509 can sit anywhere from about 25% below to 25% above the midpoint. Because it changes hands rarely, a sale still counts for half after 180 days.
Year on year, the median sale is up 14.6% (14 sales against 6). Its first recorded sale dates from November 2023, so a decade-scale view will have to wait. Marketplace and saleroom prices line up closely, about 4% apart, on 11 eBay sales against 3 auction results.
Sellers without the original box and papers should expect roughly 14% less; that discount comes from 5 watch-only results in the same family. Paperwork varied: 21 complete, 1 bare, 2 incomplete, 11 described as never worn. 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 3, 2024 (on eBay, watch only), came in about 54% below the worth-about figure; the highest, on September 8, 2026 (on eBay, set not stated), about 32% above the worth-about figure.
Nearest in price within the same collection: Cosmograph Daytona 6240 price, Cosmograph Daytona 126518LN price and Cosmograph Daytona 126519LN price.
