About the Datejust 36 16238

What the sales say
We count 8 transactions toward its estimate, 7 eBay sales and 1 auction result; the earliest entry shown is from November 2023, the latest from June 2026. No month was busier than November 2024, when 2 changed hands. The auction side of the record is Dr. Crott (Auktionen Dr. H. Crott), Phillips and Antiquorum. It carries a moderate-confidence label: the range is a sound guide, but a single sale can still land outside it. No sale has arrived in the last 147 days, which slows how fast the figure can react. Recent trading is too sparse to say whether prices are calm or jumpy. A fair price for the 16238 can sit anywhere from about 35% below to 35% above the midpoint. Because it changes hands rarely, a sale still counts for half after 180 days.
There is no twelve-month change yet: the earlier window has 6 sales and the latest 2, and each needs at least three.
Sellers without the original box and papers should expect roughly 13% less; that discount comes from 131 watch-only results in the same family. Paperwork varied: 2 complete, 0 bare, 1 incomplete. The floor of the list (June 1, 2026, on eBay, full set) is about 22% below the worth-about figure, and its ceiling (May 25, 2024, at Phillips, set not stated) is about 63% above the worth-about figure.
