Take a look at a collection of Rolex watches from top boutiques around the world on 1stDibs.
- Are Rolex watches unisex?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Rolex watches have no specific unisex style, but Rolex does have both women’s and men’s versions. However, some women prefer to purchase the larger men’s watches, and some men opt for the smaller women’s Rolex brands. Shop a variety of luxury men’s and women’s Rolex watches on 1stDibs.
- How do I ship a Rolex watch?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022To ship a Rolex watch, use a reputable shipper, choose overnight delivery, and opt for full coverage insurance. Wrap your package carefully for shipment to avoid damage during transit. On 1stDibs, you'll find a collection of authentic Rolex watches.
- How do I set a Rolex watch?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Setting your Rolex watch is an intricate process. You may need to wind your watch first — if you have gone several days without wearing your watch, you wind it before setting the day, time or date. With respect to setting your watch — for most Rolex watches, here are the steps: Pull the crown out to the first notch. Then, in order to set the date, turn the crown in a counter-clockwise direction (for the time, you’ll want to turn it clockwise until you find the accurate hour and minute). Pull the crown out to the last notch in order to set the day of the week. When you have the day, date and time set, you can push the crown to a closed position. On 1stDibs, find authentic Rolex watches from top sellers.
- What was the first Rolex watch?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022There is no official first Rolex watch, as Hans Wilsdorf, the original watchmaker behind Rolex was making watches before ever branding them as Rolex. 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. Shop a range of vetted authentic Rolex watches from top boutiques around the world on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022The five-point crown on a Rolex watch represents the famous timepiece maker’s slogan, ‘A Crown for Every Achievement’. The gold color of the crown represents excellence and the green tone within the logo represents prosperity. Find a collection of expertly vetted Rolex watches from some of the world’s top reputable boutiques on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 6, 2023Rolex case sizes vary from model to model. Generally, Rolex watches for women are 24 to 34 millimeters. Men's watch sizes range from 31 to 44 millimeters, with 34 to 36 millimeters being the most commonly chosen options. On 1stDibs, shop a large collection of Rolex watches from some of the world's top dealers.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Most Rolex watches use a Perpetual rotor which means that they do not need winding if worn regularly. If you have not worn your watch in some time, you can manually wind it by unscrewing the crown to the winding position and turning it clockwise about 20 times. Make sure to screw the crown back into place after winding to reestablish its waterproof qualities. Shop a collection of authentic Rolex watches from some of the world’s top boutiques on 1stDibs.
- How do I clean a Rolex watch?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022To clean a Rolex watch, wipe it all over periodically with a soft, dry microfiber cloth. For deeper cleaning, you can wash their metal bracelets and cases with warm water and mild dish or hand soap. Use a leather cleaner product to clean leather straps on Rolex watches. On 1stDibs, find a variety of Rolex watches.
- How old are Rolex watches?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Rolex made its mark on the world in 1910, and in the 100-plus years since, the Bienne, Switzerland-based brand has focused on making some of the highest quality watches in the world, with trademark chronometric precision. Find authentic vintage and new Rolex watches on 1stDibs.
- 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. The wrist you choose to wear a Rolex on is a matter of preference. However, it is customary to wear watches on your non-dominant hand to best utilize the functions. Browse a wide selection of Rolex pieces on 1stDibs.
- How are Rolex watches powered?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Most Rolex watches are powered by a Perpetual rotor which gently swings as you move your arm, transferring energy to the mainspring of the watch. This means that most Rolex watches are powered by the wearer’s movement. On 1stDibs, find vintage and contemporary Rolex watches from some top global sellers.
- Can I trace a Rolex watch?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Yes, a Rolex watch can be traced through the serial number. Rolex keeps a record of each watch sold, and the buyer or the gift recipient is given a guarantee card with information on that watch, including the serial number. If your watch is stolen or lost, you can contact a Rolex retailer and report this information. You will be notified if the watch is subsequently brought into any of their service networks.

Shop professionally vetted Rolex watches on 1stDibs.
- Where can I buy a Rolex watch?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022You can buy a Rolex watch through an official Rolex dealer. To meet the demands of customers worldwide, Rolex partners with brick-and-mortar dealers in more than 100 countries. In addition, you can buy Rolex on numerous online platforms, including 1stDibs.
