Depends on condition, year, full set etc....

The cheapest one I see on chrono24 is $15k for one that I would consider buying. Anything under that I wouldn't touch with a 2 meter pole.

I think for $10k you better be VERY VERY careful of what your buying IF you can find anything at that price. In this game you really get what you pay for.

I don't think you will be able to find one with paperwork for as low as $10 k; probably the prices will be over $12-13 k currently. Will depend obviously on the condition and on the dial (diamond dials demand a premium typically)

Older one feel to soft? Both are 18k ! Save $10000 and find a 18038 or 18238 unpolished and a tight band. They're out there just have to dig. The new clasp is heavy and bulky under the pres band. solid middle links other than weight no big deal both will stretch if worn loose and dirty.

In the 15k range. You can keep tabs on watches for sale on watchrecon.com. Use that as a reference in addition to chrono24

If you have the cash and are looking for 36mm - 118238 is the way to go. Double quick set and solid links
