About the Cosmograph Daytona 16528
The Rolex Cosmograph Daytona 16528 is a reference in the Rolex Cosmograph Daytona collection. From our catalog: a case in 18k yellow gold; movement: Rolex calibre 4030 (automatic, based on Zenith El Primero). 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
This reference has 15 sales in its current window (9 eBay sales and 6 auction results); the listing below starts in November 2023 and ends in September 2026. Sales bunched in August 2024, which alone accounts for 3 of them. Hammer results come from Antiquorum, Monaco Legend Group and Phillips. Our confidence in it is moderate, so read the range as the likely zone rather than a promise for any one watch. Its most recent sale came 45 days before this data run. There were too few sales in the last 90 days for a volatility label. A fair price for the 16528 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).
Twelve months on, the typical sale has gained about 24.9% against the year before. Since 2015, the first year we can measure from auction results, the median is up 266% on that year, with its high in 2022 and its low in 2024. Auction buyers have paid more than eBay buyers for the 16528 recently: a gap of about 41% between the medians, from 4 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 5 full sets to 0 watch-only and 9 partial; the rest gave no set details. Listed sales ran from about 63% below the worth-about figure (April 11, 2024, on eBay, set not stated) to about 79% above the worth-about figure (April 25, 2026, at Monaco Legend Group, set not stated), which is the spread a seller should expect.
