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.

About the Submariner Date 16618

The Rolex Submariner Date 16618 is a reference in the Rolex Submariner collection. It is discontinued. From our catalog: a 40 mm case in 18k yellow gold; movement: Calibre 3135. 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

Between November 2023 and September 2026 we recorded the sales listed on this page, and 58 of them count toward today's range: 48 eBay sales and 10 auction results. The busiest month in that list was December 2024, with 7 sales. On the auction side, the results are from Bukowskis, Grailzee and Phillips. Few references earn our top rating; this one does, thanks to a dense and consistent stream of results. Its most recent sale came 27 days before this data run. Recent trading is too sparse to say whether prices are calm or jumpy. A fair price for the 16618 can sit anywhere from about 25% below to 25% above the midpoint. With steady but not heavy trading, the estimate gives a sale half its weight after 180 days.

Compared with the previous year, prices for the 16618 are 18.6% higher on the median. We hold sales for it back to May 1999; a long-run summary needs at least five years of record. The two channels agree here, with medians about 1% apart (21 eBay sales against 4 auction results).

Our measured gap between a bare watch and a complete set is about 11% for this family, drawn from 84 sales without the paperwork. Of the 85 sales listed, 14 came as a full set, 3 as the watch alone and 13 with part of the set; 1 were described as unworn. Unworn full sets sell about 5% above worn ones across our data, so an unworn example sits above the headline. Cheapest in the list: March 24, 2025, on eBay, set not stated, about 65% below the worth-about figure. Dearest: October 10, 2025, at Phillips, unworn, full set, about 43% above the worth-about figure.

If you are weighing alternatives, the siblings priced nearest to it are Submariner Date 16808 price, Submariner 6536 price and Submariner Date 116618LN price.
