The 116710BLNR is itself the named variant. Where the 116710 family has two published configurations — the all-black 116710LN and the blue-and-black 116710BLNR — the Batman is one of them, not a sub-branch inside it. Late-production full-set examples carrying 2019 guarantee-card dates are a minor collector sub-branch because they mark the final year of original Batman production and sit adjacent to the 126710BLNR transition. Sotheby's 2019 lot is the auction-grade anchor for that sub-branch. | The 116710BLNR is itself the named variant.

The auction record is stronger 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 — a Phillips-condition stickered example five years after discontinuation, with bracelet, guarantee, hang tag, and presentation box intact. Sotheby's had already catalogued a late-production full-set example dated to 2019 as the reference exited production. | The auction record is stronger than the 116710LN's.

Secondary-market pricing positions the 116710BLNR against its successor 126710BLNR. EUR prices climbed from around EUR 8,500 at the start of the discontinuation signal into the EUR 16,000 range shortly after. The post-discontinuation premium has persisted. | Secondary-market pricing positions the 116710BLNR against its successor 126710BLNR.
