About the Explorer 6298
The Rolex Explorer 6298 is a reference in the Rolex Explorer collection. From our catalog: a 35 mm case. 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 6298 rests on 5 sold results (2 eBay sales and 3 auction results), and the sales we list run from December 2023 to May 2026. Sales bunched in April 2026, which alone accounts for 2 of them. Hammer results come from Antiquorum and Monaco Legend Group. Middle-tier confidence applies: enough evidence to frame a fair price, not enough to pin it tightly. It has been 148 days since the last result, a long gap by market standards. Too few sales landed in the past 90 days to rate how much prices swing. A fair price for the 6298 can sit anywhere from about 35% below to 35% above the midpoint. Sales are thin, so older results keep their weight longer (a half-life of 180 days).
A year-on-year figure needs three sales in each window; it has 1 in the earlier year and 4 in the latest.
Without box and papers, the same 6298 is worth about 13% less on the ratio we measured for its collection (from 19 watch-only sales). Box and papers went unmentioned in all 7 listed sales, a gap worth closing when you describe your own watch. Listed sales ran from about 63% below the worth-about figure (January 14, 2024, on eBay, set not stated) to about 79% above the worth-about figure (April 25, 2026, at Monaco Legend Group, set not stated), which is the spread a seller should expect.
