Individual sale results behind our data, from eBay and auction houses. Each watch differs in condition and set.

Forum rows are posts on Reddit r/Watchexchange, RolexForums and WatchUSeek that the seller marked sold. The amount is the listed price when marked sold, not a confirmed sale price, and forum rows do not feed our price.

Median price per month or quarter. A point needs at least 3 records in its month or quarter; a gap in a line means too few records, and nothing is filled in. Forum prices are the price a seller listed on Reddit r/Watchexchange, RolexForums or WatchUSeek when the post was marked sold, not a confirmed sale price. Historical context only: these series do not feed the price shown above.

About the Datejust 16030

The Rolex Datejust 16030 is a reference in the Rolex Datejust collection. Rolex made it from 1977 to 1988. From our catalog: a 36 mm case in Stainless steel; movement: Calibre 3035. 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, 522 sit inside the window that sets the figure (506 eBay sales and 16 auction results), and the dated list covers October 2023 to October 2026. June 2026 saw the most activity, 44 sales in a single month. Auction results here come from Bruun Rasmussen, Grailzee and Auctionet. It carries a high-confidence label, the strongest we give, so the range has held up well against sales it had not seen. Its latest sale is recent, inside the last fortnight. A spread of about 19% between recent sales gives it the Moving label, between steady and erratic. The published range reaches about 24% below and 25% above the worth-about figure. As a busy reference, its figure follows the newest sales, halving the weight of a sale every 30 days.

On a like-for-like annual view the median climbed 10.2%, comparing 316 recent sales with 206 earlier ones. Since 2010, the first year we can measure from forum listings marked sold (listed prices, not confirmed sales), the median is up 207% on that year, with its high in 2021 and its low in 2010. By channel, eBay sales come in about 17% below auction results for this reference (307 eBay sales against 9 auction results). Part of any gap is the buyer's premium inside auction prices.

Missing the box and papers costs about 13% on this reference, going by 131 bare-watch sales across its line. Of the 796 sales listed, 56 came as a full set, 14 as the watch alone and 70 with part of the set; 1 were described as unworn. Unworn full sets sell about 5% above worn ones across our data, so an unworn example sits above the headline. Cheapest in the list: October 14, 2026, on eBay, set not stated, about 56% below the worth-about figure. Dearest: November 9, 2025, at Antiquorum, excellent condition, full set, about 161% above the worth-about figure.
