“Steel Smooth 26”
Rank #69 of 113 rated pieces in the Rolex Vault
Market range: the middle half of 30 recorded eBay sales in the last 12 months.
Median recorded eBay sale price for each quarter with 3 or more sales. Dashed line marks the 1992 retail price.
The all-steel, smooth-bezel Lady-Datejust: the quietest version of the 26mm watch the whole ladies' rally is built on.
Because it has no gold, it is the cheapest way into a vintage Lady-Datejust, and it has been rising with the rest of the family.
The minimalist look is exactly what younger buyers want, and it works with everything from jeans to evening wear.
Condition decides the price. Crisp case edges and a tight Jubilee bracelet are worth paying up for.
Our verdict: The entry ticket to the hottest family on the site.
