Feature: The PERFECT Rolex, whatever your budget
Whether you like it or not, Rolex is a watchmaker that is consistently in-demand. To have one on your wrist, no matter the model, is often considered a status symbol and sign of success. If you find yourself itching to get your hands on one but don’t know where to start, you’re in luck. We’ve put together a list of three Rolex watches at massively different price points so you can get a sense of what to expect from the crown, whatever your budget.
Rolex Oyster Perpetual 114200
At just over £5k pre-owned, this Oyster Perpetual makes an ideal entry-level Rolex with an effortless everyday appeal. You really could wear it anywhere, even in water—as long as you don’t go deeper than 100m! Its steel bracelet and case teamed with the blue dial, silver hour markers, hands and logo make this Oyster Perpetual a classic, minimalist Rolex timepiece.
Rolex Yacht-Master 40 116622
The Yacht-Master might be associated with yuppies and folk who enjoy the finer things in life—perhaps a regatta or two—but that doesn’t mean it’s completely out of reach for everyone. With a relatively mid-range price tag pre-owned, this Yacht-Master 40 comes in at just over £11k. Sporty and with a rugged design, this piece features a useful date window at three o’clock and a cool, blue dial—fitting for a watch built for nautical activities.
Rolex Day-Date President 118346 Platinum
Just a glance at this watch and it’s probably no surprise that it’s the priciest on this list. The all-platinum piece, with President bracelet, diamond-set bezel and a silver dial with diamond hour markers isn’t for the faint hearted. With a string of famous fans including US Presidents Nixon and Trump, the Day-Date remains a status symbol among the watch community and beyond, with this one costing over a whopping £36k pre-owned.
