Why are Rolexes so rare?
1 Answer

Rolexes are so rare largely due to supply and demand. The luxury Swiss watchmaker produces only a limited number of watches annually and may craft 100 or fewer pieces for its rarest references. Due to the popularity of Rolex watches, many people wish to purchase them, so there are often lengthy waiting lists for new models. However, you can still find many pre-owned Rolex watches on trusted online platforms, like 1stDibs. On 1stDibs, shop a variety of Rolex watches.
