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
- 1stDibs ExpertDecember 17, 2024Whether buying a used Rolex is a good idea is totally subjective. When it comes to contemporary luxury wristwatches, Rolex is also often the first brand that springs to mind, and Rolex vintage watches are equally popular among collectors. Buying a new, never-worn watch enables you to build a history with it that isn’t shared by anyone else. Still, the greatest advantage to buying a pre-owned watch is that it opens up a wider range of models to consider, including rare ones that have been discontinued. Shop a diverse assortment of Rolex watches on 1stDibs.
- Why are Rolexes so rare?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertDecember 17, 2024Rolexes 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.
- What is the most classic Rolex?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertDecember 17, 2024Opinions may differ as to which Rolex is the most classic. However, there are several Rolex timepieces that collectors generally consider to be iconic. One is the Oyster, which was the world's first waterproof watch when it debuted in 1926. Another is the Submariner, which is defined by its scratch-resistant, ceramic, rotatable bezel, which allows for optimal accuracy even deep underwater and bears a knurled rim for ease of adjustment with diving gloves. Other classic Rolex watches include the Milgauss, the DateJust and the Air King. On 1stDibs, find a diverse assortment of Rolex watches.
- Why are vintage Rolexes cheaper?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertDecember 17, 2024Vintage Rolex watches are often cheaper because they are pre-owned. As a result, these timepieces may have slight imperfections due to the effects of regular wear. Even if these blemishes aren't very noticeable and don't impact the reliability or performance of the watch, they may reduce its potential value. It's important to note that not all vintage Rolex watches will be less expensive than contemporary models. Rare watches may actually be more costly due to the limited supply available. Explore a large selection of Rolex watches on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertDecember 17, 2024Whether or not it's hard to buy a Rolex watch may change slightly over time. It is generally more difficult to buy Rolex watches from authorized dealers than many other watches due to the high demand compared to the limited supply of new models produced by the Swiss maker. However, pre-owned Rolex watches are often found on trusted online platforms. Explore a selection of Rolex watches on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021One of the cheapest Rolex watches is the Oyster Perpetual, which usually costs around $5,000. This model is made of oystersteel, an affordable type of steel.
- 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.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021The Rolex Oyster Perpetual is a great entry-level Rolex to purchase. The perpetual refers to the ability of the watch to use the energy of the wearer's wrist motion to run. It is a popular starter Rolex.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021A contemporary Rolex Yacht Master costs around $11,000. However, a vintage model can cost up to $30,000.
- What diamonds do Rolex use?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021Rolex uses only the highest quality diamonds in their watches and compares these stones against certified master stones. They are the most colorless, so in ranges D to G.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021While choosing a watch can depend on the wearer's style, there are a few consistent favorites. Some of the top Rolex watches for women include the Rolex Datejust, the Rolex Day-Date, and the Rolex Oyster Perpetual.
- What Rolex do Navy Seals wear?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 26, 2024What Rolex Navy Seals wear varies. Modern-day Seals actually don't receive Rolex watches as standard-issue gear and instead are free to wear whatever diver's watches they wish. However, there is a long history of Navy Seals donning Rolex Submariner watches in the field due to their accuracy, durability and high level of water resistance. Find a wide variety of Rolex watches on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 26, 2024The cheapest Rolex watch will vary over time as the luxury watchmaker's offerings change. However, some watches produced by Rolex are thought of as entry-level watches. These include the Oyster Perpetual, the Rolex Milgauss for men and the Lady-Datejust for women. Entry-level Rolex watches usually retail for between $3,000 and $7,000 when purchased from an authorized dealer or potentially for less when bought pre-owned through trusted online platforms. On 1stDibs, explore a collection of Rolex watches.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 22, 2024How much you should pay for a Rolex depends on what you're looking for and your budget. For everyday wear, many men prefer Rolex sports watches, such as the Submariner, the Daytona and GMT-Master II. If you're looking for a watch for special occasions and work, you may want to opt for a Rolex dress watch like the Air-King, Date and Oyster Perpetual. Prices for timepieces from all of these lines will vary based on their materials and features. You may wish to compare prices at multiple retailers and trusted online platforms to get the best possible price. Explore a diverse assortment of Rolex watches on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 22, 2024How much a Rolex wristwatch is in the USA varies. Entry-level watches produced by the Swiss luxury maker usually start at around $4,000 to $5,000, with the highest-priced models retailing for $100,000 or more. In some cases, pre-owned Rolex watches, available on trusted online platforms in the USA, sell for less than the average retail price. On 1stDibs, find a variety of Rolex watches.
- How much is an authentic Rolex?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertDecember 17, 2024How much an authentic Rolex is varies greatly. Prices for entry-level models, such as the DateJust 36mm and the Oyster Perpetual, usually range from $5,000 to $10,000, while some limited edition models may sell for $100,000 or more. Select pre-owned Rolexes may be available on trusted online platforms at reduced prices. On 1stDibs, find a large selection of Rolex watches.
- 1stDibs ExpertDecember 17, 2024Opinions 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.
