About the Oyster Perpetual Lady Date 26 6516

The Rolex Oyster Perpetual Lady Date 26 6516 is a reference in the Rolex Date collection. From our catalog: a 26 mm case in Steel. 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

Between October 2023 and September 2026 we recorded the sales listed on this page, and 109 of them count toward today's range: 108 eBay sales and 1 auction result. Sales bunched in May 2025, which alone accounts for 11 of them. Auction results here come from Gardiner Houlgate. We rate it moderate confidence; most later sales should fall in the range, though not all. Its most recent sale came 27 days before this data run. Its 6 sales in the last 90 days agree closely, so the volatility label is Stable. A fair price for the 6516 can sit anywhere from about 35% below to 35% above the midpoint. It trades at a regular pace, and a sale's weight halves every 180 days.

On a like-for-like annual view the median climbed 14.5%, comparing 43 recent sales with 66 earlier ones. The record only reaches back to October 2023, short of the five years a long-run figure needs.

Without box and papers, the same 6516 is worth about 20% less on the ratio we measured for its collection (from 29 watch-only sales). Of the 169 sales listed, 3 came as a full set, 2 as the watch alone and 5 with part of the set. The lowest listed sale, on September 6, 2024 (on eBay, set not stated), came in about 72% below the worth-about figure; the highest, on January 18, 2026 (on eBay, partial set), about 42% above the worth-about figure.

Nearest in price within the same collection: Oyster Date 6294 price, Date 6519 price and Date 6518 price.
