I notice that the prices for De Luca first series seems to have rocketed the last year or so, at least on chrono24.com?
Do they sell for those asking prices? Reason for asking is that I have this -88 white face, and the chrono24 numbers is sort of tempting:

 

These have gone up some. But, keep in mind that Chrono24 prices are asking, not getting.

 

Those are dealer asking prices too. Not quite the same for private sellers.

 

Any ideas what a reasonable price would be for this one?

 

But it's a great looking watch

 

by the way, isnt it a mark 2? the mark one have wider handset

 

The mark1 black dial 01.0042.400 has a wider Alpha or Dauphine like handset. The 01.0043.400 white dial mark1 has the hands as pictured above. Believe these hands were replaced by mercedes hands already the year after. So only 375 pieces produced with these distinct hands.

 

Well... I hard to find any premium watch these days that didn't doubled it's price/value the last 2 or 3 years it seems.
Just look at vintage Rolex, Omega, Tudor, Zenith,... As long as it's at least 36mm and somewhat "sporty"...

PS: I sold my De Luca for 2.800 Euro some months ago. Was gone in less than 5 minutes.

 

They have definitely become more collectable over the last couple of years and prices have gone up very fast

 

@kelev_ra - was that a mark1?
@kbk - thats seem to be the same observation that I have made.

 

Is this a low post count "stealth" sales thread?

 

Well, I do have low post count, no doubt about that. And I do own a De Luca, the fact that I am asking about international pricing for my watch may indicate that I am considering selling it. Wether that will be locally or on a wider marketplace- time will tell. I may also keep it, knowing that it is a great, well reputed watch with a very interesting history- and on top of that a nice value increase.

 

Between 2500-4000€, 4500€ is if the watch is complete with box, user's manual and invoice

 

Have you sold yours? I am looking for one

 

I've sold several, mostly of the Mark 1 black dial variety, and they've consistently been $3500-$4500 depending on condition.

 

I am looking for a white dial Mark 1, price are higher than$3500-$4500

 

Last ebay auction of a nice example from italy ended at € 4530,00 (I've posted in the Zenith thread). I think this is a realistic actual price, not the about € 7000,00 or more at chrono 24.

Thank you for the info

 

White ones was underrated in the past compared to the black ones as well. This changed within the last one or two years.
