In this respect, Rolex vintage watches are no exception, as the Swiss manufacturer has been producing exceptional watches for more than 100 years, which have achieved high collector's values over the decades. Even more recent vintage versions of Rolex watches are very popular with collectors and enthusiasts.
Which models are considered vintage Rolexes?
There is no exact definition of the term "vintage", but a luxury watch should have been on the market for at least 20 to 30 years to be considered a vintage Rolex. Based on this, there are several models from Rolex that can be sold as vintage watches. The Rolex Datejust, Daytona, Explorer, GMT-Master, Sea-Dweller and Submariner are probably among the best-known models that are in high demand on the market and whose timeless design makes them the perfect accessory or investment.
Depending on the reference, selected models can already achieve very high prices when they are sold and many special models involve years of waiting before a collector can add such a piece to their collection.
A watch is classed as antique when it is over 100 years old. In addition to numerous vintage models, antique watches that can boast this 100-year history could also come onto the market in the coming years.
