From our catalog: a 36 mm case in Stainless steel and Everose gold; bezel: Fluted, 18k Everose gold; movement: Calibre 3135.

What the sales say

Our record for the 116231 covers about 35 months of sales, November 2023 to October 2026, and 59 of those results stand behind the current figure (56 eBay sales and 3 auction results). No month was busier than June 2026, when 7 changed hands. The auction side of the record is Grailzee and Antiquorum. It carries a high-confidence label, the strongest we give, so the range has held up well against sales it had not seen. The newest sale is under two weeks old. Its recent sales are labelled Moving: they differ by about 14% from one another, enough to matter when you compare offers. A fair price for the 116231 can sit anywhere from about 25% below to 25% above the midpoint. It trades at a regular pace, and a sale's weight halves every 180 days.

Year on year, the median sale is up 4.6% (44 sales against 15). Its first recorded sale dates from November 2023, so a decade-scale view will have to wait. Split by where it sold, the eBay median runs about 26% above the auction one over 12 months, on 41 eBay sales against 3 auction results.

Sellers without the original box and papers should expect roughly 13% less; that discount comes from 131 watch-only results in the same family. The listed sales split 17 full sets to 0 watch-only and 12 partial; the rest gave no set details. Cheapest in the list: November 25, 2023, at Antiquorum, excellent condition, partial set, about 30% below the worth-about figure. Dearest: August 4, 2026, on eBay, full set, about 43% above the worth-about figure.

Close to it on price in the same family: Datejust 31 178271 price, Datejust 31 178273 price and Datejust 41 126300 price.
