The indexed dealer range of roughly EUR 750 to 3,200 is a reasonable anchor for current expectations on unremarkable examples. Exceptional condition, retailer co-signing, or distinctive dial configurations can push above that range. The 2136 does not trade in five-figure territory in the normal course; a plain 9ct example at five figures is out of step with the surfaced record. | The indexed dealer range of roughly EUR 750 to 3,200 is a reasonable anchor for current expectations on unremarkable examples.
