Rolex Watches
While the rise in popularity of vintage Rolex watches is of no surprise to aficionados, collectors and industry experts, when it comes to contemporary luxury wristwatches, Rolex is also often the first brand that springs to mind. Not only is the company revered for its precision timekeeping and impeccable craftsmanship, but its name was designed to be memorable.
Rolex's enviable worldwide recognition can be credited in part to the genius of company founder Hans Wilsdorf. When the German-born watch dealer and his brother-in-law, Alfred Davis, set up their London enterprise, in 1905, they called it Wilsdorf & Davis, according to the traditional formula.
But Wilsdorf was determined to come up with another name that was short, would look good on a watch dial and was easy to say and remember in several languages. In 1908, he trademarked the name Rolex, and by 1920, he had moved the company to Geneva and redubbed it as Montres Rolex S.A.
But the main reasons for the brand’s success are its aforementioned commitment to precision and unflagging pursuit of innovation. In 1926, the company introduced the aptly named Oyster model. With a screw-down crown and case back, both fitted with rubber gaskets, this was the first truly waterproof watch.
Five years later, Rolex upped the ante with the Oyster Perpetual. That model’s patented Perpetual movement contained a rotor mechanism enabling it to self-wind. In another trendsetting move, in 1945, the brand debuted the Datejust, with a date window prominently displayed on the dial.
The company’s two most iconic models are sports watches. Although the Submariner, which debuted in 1953, was developed as a dive watch, its waterproof case, solid construction and good looks made it a favorite of adventurers and urbanites alike, including James Bond, who wore it in classics like Dr. No and Goldfinger. The Daytona, the racing chronograph made famous by Paul Newman, is especially sought after by collectors. Newman’s personal Daytona, which hit the auction block in 2017, sold for $17.8 million.

Find Antique and Vintage Watches for Sale on 1stDibs
Records show that, in Europe, by the 16th century, it was high time for portable clock devices. Right now, perhaps you’re shopping for your own. If so, find a vast range of fashionable and functional antique, new and classic vintage watches on 1stDibs.
While wall-mounted time tellers and grandfather clocks were much more convenient than the sundials of ancient history, watches were becoming crucial for an increasingly connected society whose members learned that the latest advancements in technology meant they could carry devices that kept time to within a minute a day. Tragically, the first pocket watches — albeit an improvement on the accessories that preceded them, which dangled from a chain worn around the neck — didn’t help much as far as accuracy or portability. Focused on style over substance, the upper class frequently carried lavish pieces that ran hours behind.
Eventually, watches migrated from owners’ pockets to their wrists. In the early days of watchmaking, watches were fragile enough that they necessitated protection from the elements. Now, wristwatches made of gold and steel can withstand the harshest climates — even 100 meters underwater, in the case of Rolex’s Submariner. Designer Gérald Genta, whose range of clients included Rolex, created for Audemars Piguet the first luxury sports timepiece to be made from stainless steel. First introduced in 1972, the Royal Oak was a perfect choice for blending the form and function that are now synonymous with sports watches.
Indeed, although exceedingly practical, the watches of today are far from bland. Bulgari’s iconic Serpenti watch was on everyone’s list after the collection’s bold bracelet, which technically debuted after the timepiece, graced the wrist of actress Elizabeth Taylor. If anything, elaborately crafted timepieces — the unmistakably boxy silhouette of Cartier Tank watches, the elegant and minimal Calatrava designed by legendary Swiss house Patek Philippe — are even more effective than the shape we associate with traditional watches. You’ll always know what time it is because you won’t be able to tear your eyes away from your new accessory.
Form watches — the all-encompassing moniker bestowed upon non-round watches — are making headlines and completing contemporary fashionable ensembles the world over. At the same time, both casual fans and careful collectors are drawn to the unbeatable charm of vintage styles, such as the icons designed by Omega that even James Bond can’t resist.
When shopping for a watch, it’s good to keep your needs as well as your specific personal style in mind: A smaller, subtle timepiece is a good fit for small wrists. When will you be wearing your new accessory? There’s a versatile model out there for everyday wear, while a rugged, feature-heavy watch is a safe bet if you’re prone to embarking on all-weather activities in the great outdoors.
Find exactly what you’re looking for in an unparalleled collection of antique, new and vintage watches on 1stDibs — we promise it will be worth your time.

Questions About Rolex Watches
- How do jewelers get Rolex?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertDecember 17, 2024Jewelers get Rolex watches in one of two ways.

- How do I adjust a Rolex band?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022How you adjust a Rolex band depends on the style. Submariner and SeaDweller watches feature Glidelock clasps that allow you to adjust the size 2 mm at a time simply by opening the bracelet and sliding it back and forth.

- How do I put on a Rolex watch?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022The most optimal way to put on a Rolex watch is to loosen the clasp and gently slide your hand through it before securing the clasp once again.

- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Polish the brushed metal areas of the Rolex Submariner bracelet with a texture cleaning pad, moved in a brushing motion with the grain of the metal.

- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 29, 2024There are a few things you should know before buying a Rolex. The first question to ask yourself is whether you want a new, pre-owned or vintage Rolex. Although definitions vary, pre-owned watches are generally those less than 20 years old, while vintage watches are 20 years old and up.
Buying a new, never-worn watch enables you to build a history with it that isn’t shared by anyone else, but the greatest advantage to buying a pre-owned Rolex is that it opens up a wider range of models to consider, including rare ones that have been discontinued. (Everyone seems to have heart-shaped eyes for vintage watches right now.)
Before shopping for a Rolex online, you may want to become acquainted with its components, such as the movement, the case and the lugs, so that you can easily compare and contrast your options.
Familiarize yourself with popular Rolex models, which include the Oyster Perpetual, the Submariner and the Daytona. Which one is a good fit for you? Each model has its own look, features and personality.
The choice of a strap or bracelet can drastically affect the look of your watch, making it formal or casual, traditional or daring. Although often an afterthought, it’s an important element.
See our official Rolex buying guide, and find an exquisite collection of vintage Rolex watches today on 1stDibs. - 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022The best way to remove scratches from a Rolex will depend on the severity of the scratches. For minimal scratches, try using a polishing cloth. Be mindful, polishing cloths can only be used on the polished parts of the Rolex to avoid more damage. Shop a variety of expertly vetted Rolex watches on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Designed with world travelers in mind, the Rolex Sky-Dweller can be purchased through Rolex directly as well as through authorized retailers and resellers, including 1stDibs. It’s important to purchase from a vetted seller or vendor to ensure authenticity.

- How do I fit a Rolex bracelet?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022The way a Rolex bracelet fits is a matter of preference. For a comfortable fit, Rolex recommends leaving the bracelet loose enough to allow for the wrist expansion that comes with warmth but snug enough to avoid sliding. Shop a collection of authentic Rolex pieces on 1stDibs.
- How to wind a datejust rolex?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022To wind a Rolex Datejust, set the crown notch (located on the right hand side of the face) to position one. To set it to position one, turn the crown counterclockwise to unscrew the crown and pop the crown out one notch. From this position, start to wind the Rolex by turning the crown clockwise. You should feel a bit of tension and hear a soft clicking sound. Browse a wide selection of Rolex Datejust watches on 1stDibs.
- How do I wind a Rolex Datejust?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022To begin to wind a Rolex Datejust, unscrew the winding crown fully. Then, turn the crown in a clockwise direction at least 25 times for a partial winding. Because the watch self-winds as you move, you usually only need to wind a Rolex Datejust before the first wear or if you let several days pass between wears. You’ll find a large selection of Rolex Datejust watches on 1stDibs.
