Rolex is a brand whose name echoes beyond the boundaries of our industry. Synonymous with luxury, interchangeable with quality and imbued with a heritage that no amount of money or spin can synthesize, the brand founded by Hans Wilsdorf in 1905 almost occupies its own territory in the watch industry.

Rolex is not simply a watch brand. It has become a phenomenon, crushing all competition in its path by virtue of having created the very rules by which the game is played.

Rolex SA is the leading luxury watch manufacturer in the world, producing over 2,000 watches per day that generate sales of over $7 billion each year. The Swiss-based company manufactures, services, and distributes wristwatches under the Rolex and Tudor brand names through authorized dealers. The Rolex brand was founded by both Hans Wilsdorf and Alfred Davis in London, England in 1905.

The company’s original name was Wilsdorf and Davis, and in 1919 operations were relocated to Geneva, Switzerland. Today the brand produces industry icons such as the Rolex Submariner, Daytona, and GMT-Master, and competes with other leading luxury watch companies like Patek Philippe, Omega, and Panerai. They sponsor many major sports events in tennis, golf, yachting, and racing.

Checking the Rolex original features

When considering a Rolex purchase, the overall condition of the watch is key. The condition of both vintage and current models is important to many collectors. Some collectors will simply want to own an example of a particular model, while others will only want the best examples for their collections.

Things to look for when buying a Rolex watch are:

Is the watch face clear and legible?
Check for any scratches on the glass or casing?
Does the clasp close properly?

Check the Rolex reference number

The reference number on a Rolex watch helps to identify the model. You can check these important numbers on the internet, or double check them with some of the standard Rolex features using reference books.

The popularity of Rolex watches means they are one of the most commonly faked and copied brands. Unscrupulous sellers may attempt to trick unwary buyers by altering the reference number.

To ensure you don’t fall victim to counterfeiters, ask plenty of questions about the watch and get a hold of standard reference books for Rolex watches.

Check the paperwork and box

Even if you do not find a watch with a box and paperwork, it is still worthwhile to purchase the watch. These small but interesting extras often add value as they help to complete the history of the watch and can help tell a story about the history of the watch.

It is important that the box and watch are from the same period and that the serial number on the watch corresponds with that on its paperwork.
