Investment scorecard

Momentum50Measured 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.
Liquidity41How easily it sells: recorded sales in the last 12 months (300 or more scores 100) and eBay's 90-day sell-through rate.
Scarcity57Demand 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 entry40Where 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 safety87How 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 two-tone Everose 28 is where the ladies' rally is heading next: the same buyers lifting the steel and yellow Rolesor 26s and 28s are trading up to rose gold.

Pre-owned still sits under retail, which is rare for a current Lady-Datejust configuration with this much dial variety.

Everose Rolesor at 28mm: Rolex's own rose gold, which never fades, on the size the market is currently chasing hardest. The aubergine and chocolate dials suit this metal pairing especially well.

The ladies' rally graduated from steel to two-tone yellow; rose is the next room over, and it's still priced below retail pre-owned. The 2236 uses Rolex's silicon Syloxi hairspring.

Our verdict: Ride the ladies' momentum at a discount to the showroom. Aubergine and chocolate dials are the collector picks.
