Secondary-market pricing has moved meaningfully with the broader vintage-Rolex cycle. The 2020–2022 peak carried 1655 pricing to levels that compressed somewhat by 2024, in line with the wider vintage correction. The reference holds its floor for two reasons. Production was modest compared to the contemporary Submariner and GMT-Master lines, and the documented expedition history (Messner, Hillary) is the kind of provenance that does not need the McQueen story to carry weight.
