Overview & history
Founded in 1905, Rolex sits at the center of the collector watch market. Sport models - Submariner, Daytona, GMT-Master, Explorer - and classic Datejust and Day-Date references are in constant demand, and many trade at or above retail. Value is driven by the model and reference, production year, originality (dial, bezel, movement), overall condition, and whether the watch retains its box and papers. Vintage references, especially early Daytonas, can be extraordinarily valuable; counterfeits are widespread, so authentication is essential.
Identifying & marks
Identify by the reference and serial numbers (between the lugs and on the caseback rim), the movement caliber, and dial details. Originality and authenticity are critical given the volume of fakes - our specialists verify before sale.
