Sotheby's 2018 New York result, Lot 252 at USD 225,000 against a USD 20,000 low estimate, is the world record for any small-crown Submariner and hammered at roughly eleven times the low. The watch was a first-series 1957 example (case 306,989), unpolished, with the no-hash-mark red-triangle bezel, glossy gilt dial, and original white circle seconds hand. Small-crown Submariners had previously traded in the USD 100,000–150,000 band; the Sotheby's result reset the ceiling. The Phillips Geneva XVIII 2021 Red Depth lot sets the high estimate at USD 54,000–109,000. Bonhams 2012 (£21,250) is a useful pre-boom marker for how far the small-crown market has moved over the past decade.
