Rolex Jewelry

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.

Questions About Rolex Jewelry
  • What does Oyster Perpetual mean on a Rolex watch?
    1 Answer
    1stDibs ExpertOctober 19, 2021

  • What is the value of a Rolex Oyster Perpetual?
    1 Answer

    The popular Rolex Oyster Perpetual is usually between $5,900 and $6,600 in price.
  • How much is a platinum Rolex watch?
    1 Answer
    1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021
    Because platinum is denser than other metals, it is often more expensive to purchase platinum watches than gold. One of the most expensive watches sold was a Platinum Rolex worth $277,000.
  • How much is a Rolex Oyster Perpetual Date worth?
    1 Answer
    1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021
    A new Rolex Oyster Perpetual Date watch is worth around $6,000. However, if it's encrusted with gems or vintage, it can cost as much as $50,000. 1stDibs has a great and vast selection of Rolex Oyster Perpetual Date watches.
  • How much is the new Rolex Submariner?

    The new Submariner Rolex with a Black Bezel is worth around $8,100 with some of the more expensive new Submariners in yellow gold costing around $36,950.
  • How do I wind a Rolex watch?
    1 Answer
    1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022
    To wind a Rolex watch, first fully unscrew the winding crown. Once it is in a raised position, carefully turn the crown clockwise. Most watches require 25 turns for enough winding to begin powering the watch. The instructions included with Rolex watches provide more information about how to wind specific models. Shop a large collection of Rolex watches on 1stDibs.
  • Is Panerai better than Rolex?
    1 Answer
    1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021
    Depending on what kind of watch you're looking for, one may be better than the other. For instance, if you want a highly functional sport watch, some of Rolex's models may be better for you. That said, the brands' watches are very similar quality-wise. The main difference is their appearances: While Rolex designs more traditional timepieces, Panerai is more contemporary and bold.
  • How can you tell if a Rolex is real?
    1 Answer
    1stDibs ExpertMay 30, 2024
    To tell if a Rolex is real, first look at the serial number. Genuine Rolex watches have their serial and model numbers deeply engraved on the metal between the lugs attaching the band to the body, whereas fakes often just have them etched on with acid. A Rolex has the serial number located on the six o'clock side, which can be used to determine its production date. On the 12 o'clock side is the model number (also called the style or reference number), typically appearing below the text "ORIG ROLEX DESIGN." To view the model and serial numbers, you have to take off the band by using a pushpin or small paper clip to remove the pin that holds it in place. Counterfeiters often don't bother to vary the numbers, instead printing the same digits on each replica. A simple Google search for the serial and model numbers of the watch you're considering should reveal whether it is actually a mass-produced fake. You can also have a knowledgeable appraiser or dealer authenticate your watch for you. Shop a large selection of Rolex watches on 1stDibs.
  • How much gold is in a Rolex Submariner?
    1 Answer
    1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    A Rolex Submariner bears an 18k stamp and the number “750,” which means that 75 percent of the watch is made out of pure gold model. The most luxurious of all timepieces, the Rolex Submariner has been continuously manufactured since 1951. Find vintage Rolex watches on 1stDibs.
  • Does Rolex use real diamonds?
    1 Answer
    1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021
    Rolex uses only the highest quality melee diamonds with between D and G in color and IF in clarity. Every diamond is tested individually to make sure it is real.
  • How much should I pay for a Rolex watch?
    1 Answer
    1stDibs ExpertNovember 22, 2024

  • What is the most quintessential Rolex?
    1 Answer
    1stDibs ExpertDecember 17, 2024
    Opinions may differ as to which model is the most quintessential Rolex. However, one of the most well-known watches produced by the luxury Swiss maker is the Submariner. Rolex introduced what would become the benchmark for a diver’s watch at the international watch and jewelry fair in Basel, Switzerland, in 1953. The Submariner — full name: Oyster Perpetual Submariner — would go on to become not only a technical feat but also a decade-spanning status symbol. Other potential contenders for the title include the Oyster Perpetual, the DateJust, the Air King and the Milgauss. On 1stDibs, find a wide range of Rolex watches.
  • What is the true cost of a Rolex?
    1 Answer
    1stDibs ExpertDecember 17, 2024
    The true cost of a Rolex will depend on the model, materials, condition, availability and other factors. For new contemporary timepieces, Rolex prices often begin between $5,000 and $10,000, with rare limited edition watches costing $100,000 or more. If you miss out on the model you covet when it’s brand-new, there’s a good chance you’ll be able to find it down the line as a pre-owned piece. On 1stDibs, find a large collection of Rolex watches.
  • Can I just go buy a Rolex?
    1 Answer

For many Rolex watches, authorized dealers have a limited supply, and there may be waiting lists for these models. However, you can often still find these timepieces on trusted online platforms, such as 1stDibs. Explore a wide variety of Rolex watches on 1stDibs.
