What the sales say
Between December 2023 and September 2026 we recorded the sales listed on this page, and 53 of them count toward today's range: every one of them an eBay sale. The peak month for transactions was April 2026 (8). On the auction side, the results are from Sotheby's and Phillips. 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 26 days old. Recent trading is too sparse to say whether prices are calm or jumpy. A fair price for the 228239 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.
On a like-for-like annual view the median climbed 5.7%, comparing 36 recent sales with 17 earlier ones. Its long record (forum listings marked sold (listed prices, not confirmed sales)) runs from 2017: today's twelve-month median is up 85% on that start, after a low in 2018 and a high in 2022.
Sellers without the original box and papers should expect roughly 20% less; that discount comes from 20 watch-only results in the same family. Paperwork varied: 50 complete, 0 bare, 5 incomplete, 6 described as never worn. Unworn full sets sell about 5% above worn ones across our data, so an unworn example sits above the headline. At the bottom of the list is a sale from March 21, 2024, on eBay, set not stated, about 44% below the worth-about figure; at the top, April 21, 2026, on eBay, set not stated, about 37% above the worth-about figure.
Nearest in price within the same collection: Day-Date 18948 price, Day-Date 40 228238 price and Day-Date 36 128238 price.
