Steel and Rose Gold Models: These feature unique matte black or sunray chocolate dials, retailing at £14,500. They generally trade near list price due to limited market supply and demand.
Oysterflex Models
Yellow, White, and Rose Gold: Featuring black dials, these models sell below retail, with 2024 examples rarely available. The white gold version sees the largest price drop.
Titanium
226627: Retailing at £12,350 but valued around £29,500 in the market, this model is extremely rare and treated as a status piece.
Air-King
Entry-Level Professional Model: Retailing at £6,500, it sells for about £7,500 on the secondary market. Dealers offer around list price.
Sky-Dweller
Steel Models: The mint dial commands a premium at £21,000, while the blue dial is available from £18,950. The black dial underperforms and sells near retail.
Steel and Gold Versions: Few 2024 pieces are available, as they do not offer profit margins, leading to better availability at ADs.
Sea-Dweller
Steel 43mm (126600): Priced at £11,650, it sells above retail but moves slowly due to its larger size.
Steel and Gold: Retailing at £16,450, it can't be sold at a profit, making it rare in the market.
Deepsea
44mm Dive Watch: The regular black dial sells at or just above retail, while the James Cameron variant sells for a premium. The full yellow gold model, a 2024 novelty, trades in the high £50,000s.
Daytona
Two-Tone Models: Retailing at £17,800 for standard dials and £19,500 for diamond dials, they sell from £20,000 to £24,000. Steel and gold Daytonas trade below all-steel models, reflecting market preferences.
Key Trends
2024 Precious Metal and Two-Tone Models: Entering the market in lower numbers due to selling below retail. This improves AD availability and offers opportunities to buy slightly older models at a discount.
