Lange auction records are not a simple ranking of rarity.

Technical significance, production, condition and collector history all shape the result.

The CPO story does not begin and end with one Rolex.

📈 CPO is growing quickly, but the money is not moving evenly across the catalogue.

That is what makes the category worth watching.

A discontinued configuration was enough to move an entire Rolex lineage. 🔴🔵

The question for H2 is whether the GMT‑Master II can hold its narrow lead over the Submariner once the initial scramble settles.

Elsewhere, the current ceramic Daytona is pulling away from its predecessor, while the Aquanaut has moved ahead of the Royal Oak Offshore.

Our full H1 report tracks the collections, references and liquidity signals shaping the next phase of the secondary market.

After spending time with the @jacobandco Mystery Tourbillon Blue Sapphire, I can confidently say this is one of the most outrageous and technically fascinating watches I’ve ever handled.

The 50mm white gold case is drenched in invisibly set icy blue sapphires and diamonds, creating an almost liquid appearance under direct light. Jacob & Co. uses over 550 gemstones throughout the case and rotating display rings, and in person the effect is hypnotic rather than cluttered.

The centerpiece, though, is the triple-axis flying tourbillon. Watching the twin back-to-back tourbillons rotate in three dimensions feels unreal on the wrist. Unlike many tourbillons that become background decoration after a few minutes, this one completely commands your attention every time you glance down. The movement itself contains 430 components and rotates across multiple axes at astonishing speed, yet it still appears smooth and almost weightless.

Reading the time takes a moment of adjustment because there are no traditional hands. Instead, floating concentric sapphire-set rings indicate the hours and minutes using diamond pointers. Initially it feels theatrical, but after a few minutes the display becomes surprisingly intuitive. The lack of visible support beneath the rings creates the illusion that the indications are suspended in midair, a nod to historic mystery clocks.

Despite its massive dimensions, the curved lugs and alligator strap distribute the weight better than expected. It’s certainly not subtle or practical, and nobody buys this watch for discretion. But that’s precisely the appeal. The Mystery Tourbillon Blue Sapphire exists to showcase what happens when extreme gem-setting and uncompromising watchmaking collide.

What impressed me most is that beneath all the extravagance lies genuine horological innovation. Many ultra-luxury watches rely purely on excess, but this piece combines engineering, finishing, and visual drama at a level few brands would even attempt.

Konstantin Chaykin has never hidden the fact that Wristmons are designed to make people smile, and the Minions might be the most successful example yet

Rather than simply printing a familiar character onto a dial, he re-engineered his signature display so the wandering hours and minutes become the Minion’s oversized goggled eyes, while the moonphase forms its unmistakable grin

Those goggles are far more than decoration, using thick sapphire lenses that required changes to both the movement and the case architecture to make them possible

Flip the watch over and the playful theme continues with a custom Minions rotor, while the blue denim strap and yellow stitching subtly reference the characters’ iconic overalls. It’s the kind of watch that could only come from Chaykin who is technically clever, mechanically distinctive, and a reminder that serious watchmaking doesn’t always have to take itself so seriously

So this is a monthly series now. Some of the watches my slightly tanned wrist got to experience in July.

By the way, Spotify reminded me that Anastacia was a thing yesterday on my way to Bodrum. This legend will be on repeat for a while.

Which models actually gained the most ground in the first half of 2026?

Rolex holds three of the top five. The Daytona leads at $962M.

But the sharpest move on the whole list isn’t from Rolex’s biggest name, it’s the GMT-Master II, up 60% to overtake the Submariner for the first time.
