Rolex is arguably one of, if not the most famous watchmakers in the world. An icon in the luxury market & pop culture with over 100 years of experience in creating timeless pieces - Rolex is one of the most popular brands to consider if you are looking to invest in a luxury watch. With the vintage market being strong as of writing as well as the new market - there’s never been a better time to invest in a Rolex for your collection or for your first luxury watch in terms of investments.
Rolex watches hold their value for a number of reasons, including:
-
Exclusivity. The number of vintage Rolex models on the market is finite in a very supply and demand-orientated market. Some models are/were released in the single figures, with others having years of waiting lists to receive a model on order. This makes Rolex watches extremely desirable.
-
Older Rolex models are also extremely desirable. They are one of the most consistent manufacturers that gain value over time for older, classic timepieces.
-
Rolex watches are extremely popular & leaders in the fashion world. They are extremely desirable with many seeing owning one of these prestigious models as simply owning an authentic Rolex is a status symbol for many.
- The main styles that have been developed by Rolex may be as famous as the manufacturers themselves. Rolex is a market leader in terms of the quality of their watches as well as the attention to detail that is applied to every single model that they have available. This makes a Rolex a fantastic everyday watch or an investment piece.

Vintage Rolex Watches Are Known to Retain Value
Vintage Rolex watches have the rare trait that they tend to hold or increase in value over time. The number of watches that are available on the market for certain years decreases every year, making many of these models more desirable and therefore driving a higher price. They tend to increase alongside inflation due to the materials used in the construction of the watch as well as the timeless style that is used. When older styles of Rolex are more popular, this can increase the value further. Combine this by selling your vintage Rolex at a time when the market is strong and your timepiece is highly desirable - and you can make a very healthy return on your investment.
