What affects the price
Dial. Many dials share this reference, and diamond or stone dials sell differently from plain ones. Ask whether the dial is original.
Gold condition. Solid gold shows wear and polishing more than steel; a case with sharp edges and a crisp fluted bezel is a plus.
Condition. Ranges by condition (a condition shows a range only once it has enough results of its own):
- Unworn: not enough market data yet.
- Excellent: $16,200–$23,200.
- Good: not enough market data yet.
- Fair: not enough market data yet.
Box and papers. A watch sold with its box, papers and service records is easier to sell and to verify than a watch on its own.
Retail reference. We don't show a list price for this reference, because we only publish one we can confirm from a source we can cite.
Recent movement. Change over the past year: +12.8% over 12 months.
Tips for buyers
- Confirm the reference is 18238 and the movement is the calibre 3155.
- Ask whether the dial and the bracelet are original.
- Ask when the watch was last serviced.
- Compare the asking price with our fair-value range, and with the range for its condition where one is shown.
Tips for sellers
- State the dial, and include box, papers and service records.
- Don't polish the case or bezel.
- Photograph the dial, bezel and clasp in daylight.
- Use the published price data on this page as a starting point, and get more than one offer.
