Asking prices against realised prices
We currently track 15 retail listings for this reference. The cheapest asks $4,870, which is 41% below the median auction result. A dealer asking under the auction median is worth a closer look, though condition and completeness explain much of any gap.
How to read these figures
Every number here comes from completed auctions, hammer plus buyer's premium, converted where necessary and restricted to US dollar sales so the comparison is like for like. Condition, completeness and dial variant account for much of the spread within a single reference, so treat the median as market context rather than a valuation of any particular example.
