Rolex Watch Rarity & Age

Unique watches are inherently more valuable, especially those that were created in limited quantities or have not been produced for a long time. Newer watches have their own value proposition, but the older, rarer timepieces have the added bonus of being hard to find. Our local Rolex buyers love a watch with a great story that is harder to find, we’ll help to evaluate the rarity of your timepiece and help to gauge how many of them are available on the market.

Rolex Watch Materials

Naturally, the components of your valuable Rolex watch can help increase its value. Watches that include gold, white gold, diamonds, platinum or other special finishes and materials will help to increase the value of your Rolex watch. As these materials and metals increase in value over time, having them as part of your Rolex will certainly increase the value.

Rolex Watch Packaging

A precious timepiece like a Rolex watch can actually increase in value if you have the original packaging or the original papers for it. Though it can be easy to misplace these seemingly valueless items, having them along with the watch can increase the total value by hundreds of dollars. It helps not only for presentation in our store, but validates the “whole package” when a buyer is interested in your watch. Not only for gifts and presentation, this paperwork helps to validate the product that little bit extra, and can make the difference when attracting the next owner.

Rolex Watch Demand in the Market

One of the key components of selling a luxury timepiece like your Rolex watch is understanding how in-demand it is. As the next owner or shop owner acquires your watch, they want to make sure that people will want to buy it. After all, what good is a beautiful Rolex watch if it just sits on the shelf? Our trusted Rolex buyers will analyze the online marketplace and reach out to our trusted network of buyers to help determine the demand. We’ll take into consideration the availability of the watch online and in regional stores, as well as reach out to our trusted contacts.

Rolex Watch Condition & Grading Guide

Next, is the condition of your Rolex watch. Here’s a 4-step grading guide that we use to evaluate the condition of your Rolex watch.

  • Grade 1
    Your watch appears to be brand new showing no wear. You have the original box and certificate of authenticity.
  • Grade 2
    Your watch appears to be nearly new showing very little wear. The band is completely intact with no more than 10% wear.
  • Grade 3
    Your watch is in more average condition needing polishing to restore some sheen. Any missing links in the band will reduce the value of the watches. Most watches are in this category.
  • Grade 4
    Your watch is in rough condition needing $100 or more of repair to be resellable. Not all watches in this category will be sellable.
