The 18348 is a liquid, jewellery-grade volume reference, and where it does well the gem content drives the result. Antiquorum sold a black-diamond-dial example with a pavé centre-link bracelet in New York in 2016 for USD 33,125, well over its estimate and the strongest documented result for the reference. Antiquorum has also catalogued a champagne example with an emerald-marker serti dial in Geneva, and Sotheby's a yellow-gold example dated to about 1989. For a standard yellow-gold diamond-bezel 18348 the secondary market sits roughly in the high-twenties to low-thirties of thousands of dollars, a clear step above the fluted 18238 for the gem content but trading on carats, condition and dial. The special dials, serti, stone and pavé, are what reach the upper end.
