Market price history

Median recorded eBay sale price for each quarter with 3 or more sales. Dashed line marks the 1992 retail price.

Investment scorecard

Momentum0Measured 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.

Liquidity85How easily it sells: recorded sales in the last 12 months (300 or more scores 100) and eBay's 90-day sell-through rate.

Scarcity36Demand 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 entry63Where 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 safety61How 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 sibling of the index-leading 6827, at the exact 31mm unisex size driving the market, with a newer movement and sapphire crystal.

Catching the 6827's draft with far less vintage risk.

The 31mm two-tone from the era when midsize meant 'hers, but sportier'. Champagne dials, fluted gold bezel, Jubilee: the exact aesthetic the vintage-revival crowd is paying up for.

Midsize vintage went from dead stock to waiting lists at secondhand dealers in about three years. The 68273's production volume keeps it accessible, but the spread between rough and crisp examples is widening, condition is the trade.

Our verdict: The smart way to play the 31mm surge: 6827 momentum, modern reliability.
