Market price history

Median recorded eBay sale price for each quarter with 3 or more sales. Dashed line marks the 1995 retail price.

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.

Liquidity100How easily it sells: recorded sales in the last 12 months (300 or more scores 100) and eBay's 90-day sell-through rate.

Scarcity35Demand 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 entry46Where 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 safety67How 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 cheapest genuine automatic Rolex you can buy that still looks current: a 26mm steel Oyster with no date and nothing to explain.

It was the entry-level ladies' Rolex for two decades, which means there are plenty around, and that keeps prices sane.

The small-watch rally has lifted it anyway, and it has nearly doubled over the past decade.

Salmon and blue dials are the stylish picks. Look for an unpolished case and an original bracelet.

Our verdict: The best 'first Rolex' for under $4,000.
