Starting a Rolex Collection? Here Are 7 Watches You Need to Know

Collecting Rolex can be daunting, even for experienced collectors. Getting your hands on the right Rolex can be like capturing the Iron Throne. Unless you’re one of Rolex’s most loyal customers—that means buying multiple high-priced pieces a year—you will probably have to pick your Rolexes up on the secondary market.

The watch retails for an entirely reasonable $10,900, but good luch finding one at retail without playing the waiting-list game—likely for years on end. On the secondary market, you can expect to pay over $20,000. “I think they nailed it in terms of sizing, the dial, and the Cerachrom bezel,” says Altieri. “I think white is still a little bit more preferred over black currently, but that could change. It’s kind of a flashback to the 6263 model that they were making in the late ’60s and ’70s and that model has done well. So, it’s a great watch and it’s still selling for a significant premium.”

Originally selling for $14,000 at retail, as of this publication you’re going to find them on the pre-owned market for around $24,000.In certain circles, this Rolex is considered a grail watch. And let’s be frank, if you’re just beginning to collect you’re likely not going to start with this million dollar baby. If you’re already looking ahead to the future however, this could be one of your end-goals in Rolex collecting.

If you’re fresh to the hobby of watch collecting, just be prepared that, like many watch collectors, your interest may develop into full-blown obsession that can find you hunting down rare birds worth seven figures. We have warned you!Two-tone watches are a Rolex speciality, and while tastes seem to bring this combo of steel and gold in and out of fashion, there’s been enough time since the first two-tone Sub came out in 1984 for the 16803 to have become timeless.
