Inaugural Report

The first board — Thursday, November 5, 2026

388 tracked as of the November 4 close — the desk's tracked total, not a claim about the whole market; Phillips was blocked on the last completed sweep, so coverage is stated, not implied.

This desk did not begin today. It began on October 19 with a silent baseline, and it has swept the market every night since — sixteen nights of Layer 1 work before the first public word. What follows is what the data actually holds on opening morning: fourteen references, thirteen venues, every listing verified on its own page before it joined the record.

What the board says

Depth lives in the Autavia. The 2446 family is the desk's deepest bench (82 tracked) and carries its highest median asking price — the manual-wind, Valjoux 72 cars-and-planes flagship still commands the room. The automatic 1163 and 11630 benches are nearly as deep and far more liquid in feel: medians near $6,000, wide ranges, constant motion.

The Monaco is the trophy, priced like one. Twenty-nine tracked 1133s, median asking $13,000, the range running to $89,000 for the best early car — low volume, high value, high narrative weight, exactly as the reference has always traded.

The founding Carrera holds its premium. The 2447 bench (51 tracked, $11,000 median) prices the 1963 origin story above every automatic Carrera on the board. The 1153 — the first automatic — is the narrowest, steadiest band on the desk: $3,850 to $15,103 around a $5,974 median.

Thin is labeled thin. The barrel-case 110.253 stands at a single tracked listing. The desk prints that number rather than padding it; a bench of one is a fact, and it will either grow or it won't.

The gate

On the November 3 sweep, twenty-two Chrono24 candidates were checked on their own pages and all twenty-two were turned away — twenty did not exist at the claimed address, two belonged to other brands entirely. On the final sweep, one genuine arrival joined: a Monaco 1133G, €12,600 asking, page-verified. That discipline — not the count — is the desk's claim on your attention. Anyone can aggregate. The gate is the publication.

Coverage note

Phillips has been blocked since October 23 and was blocked on the last completed sweep; eBay was partially blocked the same night. Blocked venues are recorded as blocked, never as zero. Everything else on the board was observed on the venues' own pages.
