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 16803

The Rolex Submariner Date 16803 is a reference in the Rolex Submariner collection. It is discontinued. From our catalog: a 40 mm case in Yellow Rolesor (stainless steel and yellow gold); movement: Calibre 3035. 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

We count 117 transactions toward its estimate, 112 eBay sales and 5 auction results; the earliest entry shown is from October 2023, the latest from October 2026. The peak month for transactions was October 2025 (12). On the auction side, the results are from Grailzee, Antiquorum and Bukowskis. It carries a high-confidence label, the strongest we give, so the range has held up well against sales it had not seen. The last recorded result is 22 days old, recent enough to anchor the figure. Recent results wander by about 11%, a Moving market where timing and condition shift the outcome. The published range reaches about 25% below and 26% above the worth-about figure. It trades at a regular pace, and a sale's weight halves every 180 days.

Its median over the last twelve months is 2.0% higher than the twelve months before, on 64 and 53 sales. Its sales history in our records starts in March 2010, too recent for a long-run comparison yet. eBay and auction buyers have paid much the same for the 16803 lately: the two medians differ by about 1%, from 59 eBay sales against 5 auction results.

Without box and papers, the same 16803 is worth about 11% less on the ratio we measured for its collection (from 84 watch-only sales). Paperwork varied: 10 complete, 3 bare, 15 incomplete, 1 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 October 31, 2023, on eBay, set not stated, about 63% below the worth-about figure; at the top, January 6, 2026, on eBay, set not stated, about 49% above the worth-about figure.

If you are weighing alternatives, the siblings priced nearest to it are Submariner Date 16610 price, Submariner 14060 price and Submariner 14060M price.
