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.

“Prices” counts how many of the 451 sold prices from 450 sales behind the headline fall in each condition. 434 prices have no recorded condition and count only toward the headline range. All of these observations are sold prices. Method version fv-2.0.

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 16234

The Rolex Datejust 16234 is a reference in the Rolex Datejust collection. Rolex made it from 1988 to 2004. From our catalog: a 36 mm case in Stainless steel with 18k white gold bezel; bezel: Fluted, 18k white gold; movement: Calibre 3135. 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

The range for the 16234 rests on 451 sold results (438 eBay sales and 13 auction results), and the sales we list run from October 2023 to October 2026. Sales bunched in March 2026, which alone accounts for 38 of them. Auction results here come from Grailzee, Lyon & Turnbull and Auctionet. Few references earn our top rating; this one does, thanks to a dense and consistent stream of results. Its latest sale is recent, inside the last fortnight. Prices have been steady: a spread of about 9% earns the Stable label. The published range reaches about 25% below and 26% above the worth-about figure. It trades often, so older sales fade quickly (a half-life of 30 days).

On a like-for-like annual view the median climbed 5.6%, comparing 267 recent sales with 184 earlier ones. The long-range record for the 16234 starts in 2012 (forum listings marked sold (listed prices, not confirmed sales)). Measured from there, the latest twelve months are up 78% on that first year, and the record peaked in 2022. The two channels agree here, with medians about 2% apart (256 eBay sales against 11 auction results).

Missing the box and papers costs about 13% on this reference, going by 131 bare-watch sales across its line. Of the 788 sales listed, 71 came as a full set, 9 as the watch alone and 79 with part of the set; 3 were described as unworn. Unworn full sets sell about 5% above worn ones across our data, so an unworn example sits above the headline. The floor of the list (November 26, 2024, on eBay, set not stated) is about 59% below the worth-about figure, and its ceiling (November 9, 2024, at Antiquorum, excellent condition, full set) is about 90% above the worth-about figure.
