The Rolex watch's probability of future value is related to its rarity. As a result, the rarer a Rolex watch is the higher the chance that it will retain or increase its value over time. As witnessed time and again at major watch auctions, the rare pieces that are harder to acquire are often those going for the highest bids – suggesting when a watch is in short supply, it is more desirable to collectors who will generally pay more for them. For the most part, Rolex collectors are looking for watches that carry some form of pedigree or rarity.
Several Rolex sports watches are known for their stability and/or appreciation in value. The best example is the Submariner, a popular model that often retains or increases its value. The Submariner features a sleek and sporty design, impressive water resistance, rugged durability, and its in-house Calibre 3235 movement. Counterfeiters try to reproduce this model but such an overabundance of the real thing is really speaking to how valuable it truly is. For the most part, rare and discontinued models which are sought after by collectors like the “Hulk” or Kermit versions since they are no longer being made.
Another Rolex watch that maintains its investment value is the Cosmograph Daytona. A true state-of-the-art timepiece, this racing watch was created by Rolex in honor of one of America’s automobile racing capitals - Daytona. It exemplifies top performance via speed and class combined with a look unique from other models.
The Daytona is a great sports and racing watch that can be enjoyed in everyday settings, as well. This makes it attractive to more than just racers and race enthusiasts. It's also very popular with celebrities - one reason for its high collectible value.
Paul Newman's Rolex Daytona watches have been featured in many prominent movies and sporting events. The Rolex Daytona ref. 6239 is the most expensive watch ever sold - selling at $17.8 million at a Phillips Auction in 2017
One of Rolex’s most prestigious dress watches, the Day-Date is worth the investment. Being the first waterproof self-winding chronometer watch to feature a day display on top of its date window, “Day-Date” aptly describes this piece.
One of the reasons so many people love this watch is because it was revolutionary in its time-frame, marking a significant turning point for the Rolex brand. The Day-Date has since become a coveted collector’s watch due to its make and history, which has led many to refer to it as “the ultimate status symbol".
Day-Date watches are not cheap, with price tags to match. Rolexes are highly desirable and relatively valuable, which makes them a good investment. From a material perspective they're very sensible because they come in an impressive variety of colors that will stay fashionable for years to come
As the ultimate aviation watch, the GMT-Master II is sought out by avid voyagers for its specialized ability to display more than one time zone at once.
Rolex's GMT-Master II is fitted with in-house COSC certified calibers, making it built to last and endure. It also has a bi-colored bezel which gives the watch an elegant appearance alongside its bold large dial that exudes luxury and sophistication.
Originally designed with international pilots in mind, the appeal of this watch has since widened to attract collectors who are not affiliated with aviation. Rolex GMT Master was originally designed for use as a travel tool watch and has come to be seen as high-fashion accessory. Luxury models like the blue and black "Batman" or the red and blue "Pepsi" are coveted among collectors.
It’s basically a guarantee that brand-new or pre-owned Rolex watches will maintain their value well. Many models, such as limited edition items, actually increase in worth over time. Your chances of making a profit on an item you purchase are high if it is rare enough.
Assuming you maintain the integrity and quality of your watch, and hold onto all original accessories - such as the papers that came with it - when deciding to sell your Rolex, you have a decent chance at making back most or all of what you paid for it. Though the beautiful craftsmanship of these fine timepieces adds to their value, rarity is what gives a watch its 'wow factor' in terms of returns on investment.
