What to bid
Rough bid guideWe could not match this listing to auction results for its exact reference, so there is no bid ladder. Here is a rough guide from what dealers ask for the 5 most similar watches instead.
- The house estimates
- USD 168k
- If it sells like the rest
- about USD 605k hammer
At Monaco Legend Group, watches that sold went for a median 3.61× their low estimate (the middle half 2.82–5.20×), from 96 results; unsold lots are not counted. Estimates are set by the house to draw bidders, so treat this as context, not a valuation.
Bought here, the buyer's premium, shipping, and import VAT and duty to Denmark add about 69% to the hammer. Stop at about USD 15,500 and you pay 20% less than a dealer's USD 32,418: a fair discount for buying without a dealer's warranty or return. A rough guide from the 5 most similar Rolex Daytona listings (USD 32,300 – 34,500), not the same reference. Only 5 of them, so treat it as a very rough guide.
Before you bidfive checks
- The seller guarantees in writing that the watch is genuine and takes it back if it is not.
- The photos show the case back, clasp, and the serial and reference numbers between the lugs. Ask for them if not.
- You know every fee: the buyer's premium (often 20–25% online), shipping and insurance, and import VAT.
- "New", "polished" and "electronically tested" prove nothing: polished means it has been worked on, and an electronic test checks gold, not a watch.
- Decide your maximum before the sale and don't go above it.
