Witch is the most expensive, a P08 7.65mm or a P08 9mm.

There are SO many variables, such as model, markings, condition, who used it,where it was made ect. ect. ect. that this question is almost impossible to answer. Most 7.65mm were either commercials or export models(German that is) while PO8 was military issue in both world wars. You really need to get a good Luger reference book to get started,
Hope this helps,

Jonnie is correct. You need to be much more specific with your question.
Caliber alone does not determine prices on Lugers.

I guess you didn't read my post above. Caliber does not influence prices of lugers. Lugers are price according to model (rarity), and condition.
Example: Say you have a 1906 Swiss Police Luger, in 7.65mm with 4.75" barrel, and the "sheild/cross" or "cross/sunburst" markings.
Now compair that with a 1945 dated Krieghoff luger, in 9mm.
Obviously the 1945 Krieghoff is worth much, much more! But this is do to the rarity of the gun, not the caliber!
Here is further proof for you:
Take a 1920 commercial luger. These are the most common lugers available, and these can be either in 7.65 or 9mm. Both are fairly low priced (when talking lugers that is!).
Compair that to a 1908 Navy commercial, which could also be in either 7.65 or 9mm. These are quite rare, and extremely expensive!
Hope this clears things up for you. If you are wondering about the value of a specific luger, then please state a specific question, and perhaps we can be of more help.

A 1902 Luger carbine is one of the rarest Lugers and commands a top price in either caliber, depending upon condition. The stock alone is worth about $2,000.Comment

When I can figure out how to post pictures, I shall do so. The speciman I own was purchased by my father from the elder Mr. Stoeger himself in the late 1920's. My father was wise enough to keep the sales receipt bearing Mr. Stoeger's signature. No, the pistol does not bear the engraved or roller stamped A.F. Stoeger legend. The cost was $67.50. Bear in mind that my father was working for $5.00 a week at the time.
The pistol has the dished toggles, wooden fore end, and the detachable stock. Barrel length is the standard 11 3/4". The blue is deep and lustrous after all the years.
Following the imposition of the 1934 National firearms act, my father had to remove the attaching iron and literally hide it so that the pistol could remain immune from the $200 tax, possible confiscation, or defacement by having the portion of the grip heel ground off to prevent the attachment of the stock.
When the BATF rules were relaxed permitting the stock to be attached, the iron magically appeared again.
And yes, to the consternation of many, I have shot this example with my handloaded ammuntion and she functions flawlessly.
All the best to you and yours for the New year. May this year bring all you desire in health, prosperity, and goodies for your collections.
Cheers,
