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.

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.

What affects the price

Condition. Unworn and well-worn examples sell at different levels. Our ranges by condition, where a grade has enough sales:

  • Unworn: not enough market data yet.
  • Excellent: not enough market data yet.
  • Good: $5,550–$7,850.
  • Fair: not enough market data yet.

Bezel. The bezel is recorded as smooth (polished), 18k yellow gold; dings on the bezel are easy to see in photos and buyers notice them.

Case condition. On a two-tone case, check the gold parts closely: polishing removes gold faster than steel, and worn edges are hard to hide.

Box and papers. Buyers ask for the original box and papers first; keep them together with the watch.

Service record. A dated service invoice for the calibre 2235 answers the first question most buyers ask about timekeeping.

List price. No citable list price is on record for the 79173, so we leave it out.

Recent movement. Change over the past year: +25.4% over 12 months.

Tips for buyers

  • Make sure the papers name reference 79173 and that the case measures 26 mm.
  • Have an independent watchmaker inspect it within the return window.
  • Ask the seller how long they have had the watch and why they are selling.
  • Inspect the bezel closely; it should be smooth (polished), 18k yellow gold.
  • Ask when the calibre 2235 was last serviced, and by whom.

Tips for sellers

  • Collect the box, papers and any service records before you ask for offers.
  • Don't polish the case before selling.
  • Shoot the watch in daylight from the front, both sides and the back.
  • Compare each offer with the sold results summarised above.
