why not consult the critical commentary of the new
Henle Edition. You can find it at www.henleusa.com

here's what it says about that m. 111 in german:

111: Die Takte 88–111 sind als Da capo
senza repliche (d.h. T 1–24) notiert.
Über T. 24 steht eine verwischte
Volta 1 (eine Volta 2 fehlt). Ob diese
Volta gilt oder nicht gilt und worauf
sie sich bezieht, kann nicht mit Sicherheit
geklärt werden. Vermutlich
bezieht sie sich auf den Übergang von
der Reprise in die Coda T 111/112:
An dieser Stelle sollen wohl die Akkorde
aus T 24 (=T 111) dem Eintritt
der Coda weichen. Der Befund
bleibt diskutabel.

...and in english:

111: Bars 88–111 are written as Da capo
senza repliche (i. e. M 1–24). A
smeared Volta 1 instruction appears
above M 24 (there is no Volta 2). It is
impossible to determine with absolute
certainty whether this “volta”
applies or not, and what it refers to.
Presumably it relates to the transition
from the recapitulation to the coda in
M 111–112, so that the chords from
M 24 (= M 111) give way to the entrance
of the coda. The findings remain
open to debate. (See Daniel
N. Leeson: “The ‘Gran Partitta’s’
Mystery Measure,” in Mozart-Jahrbuch
(1991), vol. 1, pp. 267–75.)
