Investment scorecard

Momentum72Measured price direction: the median recorded sale of the last 4 months against the median of 8 to 12 months ago. 50 means flat; small samples are pulled toward 50.

Liquidity57How easily it sells: recorded sales in the last 12 months (300 or more scores 100) and eBay's 90-day sell-through rate.

Scarcity59Demand against supply. For modern pieces, how far the market sits above or below current retail, plus a lift if production has ended. For vintage, how rarely one comes up for sale.

Value entry20Where the latest quarter's median sale sits inside its own 3-year range. Buying near the low scores high; buying at the high scores low.

Condition safety69How safe a typical example is: the age of the design, plus how tightly sale prices cluster (a wide spread means condition and originality swing the price).

The story

The last two-tone 26 before the line went 28mm: solid gold bezel and crown, newest movement of the family.

The two-tone twin of our top-pick 179174, a half step behind it on the same curve.

The final-generation two-tone 26, the exact watch the vintage-revival wave anointed: gold where it matters, steel where it counts, champagne dial, Jubilee. Prices have risen strongly over the past two years in the site's sold data.

Final generations always lead their family's repricing, and this one has. The play from here is configuration: factory diamond dials and rarer colors move first when a family runs.

Our verdict: Final-generation quality with the full 26mm tailwind. The gold content adds a floor the steel version lacks.
