The Day-Date II's auction record belongs almost entirely to the platinum [[Reference:218206|218206]], where the commissioned | The Day-Date II's auction record belongs almost entirely to the platinum [[Reference:218206|218206]], where a documented Bonhams London result of £32,000 in June 2025 and the commissioned examples carry the generation's saleroom history. No 218239 lot surfaced in the research for this entry, but the major houses expose upcoming sales rather than full archives to search, so the absence is a gap in the record rather than evidence the reference has never been catalogued. The 218239 changes hands on the secondary market, which says more about how modern gold Day-Dates are traded than about the watch. | ||
On the secondary market in 2026, factory-dial 218239s on the standard fluted bezel | On the secondary market in 2026, factory-dial 218239s on the standard fluted bezel are asked between roughly USD 29,800 and 39,500. That spread is wide for a reference with so few dial options, and it tracks the seller rather than the watch: the same white Roman configuration sits near the bottom of the band at one dealer and the factory diamond dials near the top at another. Dated examples with box and papers sit around USD 38,000. Aftermarket diamond-set examples are asked at USD 54,000 to 55,000, a figure that reflects the stones rather than the reference. The white gold sits below the Everose [[Reference:218235|218235]] and close to the yellow-gold [[Reference:218238|218238]] in the generation, which makes it, for anyone who actually wants the metal, the value entry into a 41mm President. | ||
