We are not sure, but we would venture to say that Rolex watches are currently among the most sought-after watches in the world. Rolex is known worldwide for its exclusivity and sky-high prices. But why are they actually so expensive, and why is there often a waiting list for certain models? Good question.
For starters, Rolex is synonymous with quality and precision. Each watch is assembled by hand by skilled craftsmen and undergoes the strictest quality controls. The materials used are of the highest quality: from stainless steel to 18-carat gold and even diamonds. In addition, the watches are waterproof and extremely durable. Besides craftsmanship, scarcity also plays a major role. Rolex deliberately produces a limited edition of certain models. This not only creates exclusivity, but also fuels demand. For example, iconic models like the Submariner and Daytona are hugely sought-after, while availability is limited. This often leads to waiting lists that can last months, sometimes years. The limited production ensures that Rolex watches are not just in shops, and this of course further increases covetousness.
Besides, Rolex is more than just a watch; it is a status symbol. If you wear a Rolex, you radiate success and luxury. This reputation is carefully maintained through clever marketing and sponsorship of prestigious events such as Wimbledon, equestrian events and Formula 1. That combination of rarity, superior quality and a carefully constructed brand name drives up the price of Rolex watches and has boosted Rolex's image in recent years.
