== Historical market and auction record ==

The auction record runs deeper than the 116710LN's. Phillips offered a new-old-stock 116710BLNR from the Guido Mondani Collection at the Geneva Watch Auction XIX in May 2024, still stickered five years after discontinuation, with bracelet, guarantee, hang tag, and presentation box intact. Sotheby's ~~had already~~ catalogued a late-production full set dated to 2019 as the reference left the catalogue.

The auction record runs deeper than the 116710LN's. Sotheby's catalogued a late-production full set — box, warranty booklets, and warranty card — dated to 2019 as the reference left the catalogue.

Secondary-market pricing has tracked the 116710BLNR against its successor ever since. EUR prices climbed from around EUR 8,500 as discontinuation became likely into the EUR 16,000 range shortly after, and the premium has held.
