The daily wear resistance of a watch depends on its design function. The round Rolex contributes to its water resistance and superior readability. Add this central scanning second hand and Cyclops date magnifier. Existing collections are maintained and continuously improved over the years. This is supported by Rolex expert Percy Christian Schoeler, founder of the German-language internet portals Luxify and R-L-X-Forum: “Over the decades, only very careful modifications to the iconic designs of individual collections of models have gained a high degree of recognition.” There are no sudden design changes or jumps, and even the size of the shell changes only very slowly.
The moment you buy a car, it drops in value by half. This fact is true to a lesser extent for the best replica watches – except for Rolex. For the high-demand sports models in stainless steel at least (though this is a stickier situation for gold Oyster models and the gorgeous gold Cellini watches) it’s possible to get just a little less, or maybe even more, than the original purchase price. This is an attraction for any customer — whether they buy a watch for this particular reason or for any other reason. I am relieved to know that you have made a wise decision.
Back in October, in fact, a Rolex Daytona owned by actor and racing enthusiast Paul Newman became the most expensive wristwatch ever sold at auction, netting $15.5 million at Phillips’ New York “Winning Icons” auction. This beat the previous record for the most expensive Rolex wristwatch ever sold, a Ref. 6062 with its triple date display (pointer date indicator, weekday and month in window openings) in the one-time variation with a black dial and diamond markers that once belonged to Bao Dai, the last emperor of Vietnam. It was purchased this past May at Phillips in Geneva for more than SF5 million.
The price stability of used but still relatively new watches depends in large part on the high prices that older fake Rolex watches often fetch at auction. After Patek Philippe, Rolex is the second most popular brand. Over the past few decades, there have been thousands of successful Rolex watches auctioned off. In some cases, house prices have reached dizzying heights.
