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 168000

The Rolex Submariner Date 168000 is a reference in the Rolex Submariner collection. It is discontinued. 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

Behind the headline sit 57 completed sales, 55 eBay sales and 2 auction results, gathered from November 2023 through October 2026. August 2025 saw the most activity, 7 sales in a single month. The auction side of the record is Antiquorum, Sotheby's and Bukowskis. Few references earn our top rating; this one does, thanks to a dense and consistent stream of results. The newest sale is 32 days old. A volatility label needs more sales in the last 90 days than it has. A fair price for the 168000 can sit anywhere from about 25% below to 25% above the midpoint. Sales are thin, so older results keep their weight longer (a half-life of 180 days).

Twelve months on, the typical sale has gained about 12.0% against the year before. Its long record (forum listings marked sold (listed prices, not confirmed sales)) runs from 2012: today's twelve-month median is up 126% on that start, after a low in 2014 and a high in 2026.

Without box and papers, the same 168000 is worth about 11% less on the ratio we measured for its collection (from 84 watch-only sales). Set details where stated: 5 with box and papers, 7 without, 5 with one or the other. Cheapest in the list: August 15, 2025, on eBay, set not stated, about 53% below the worth-about figure. Dearest: August 7, 2025, on eBay, set not stated, about 55% above the worth-about figure.
