Timeless Investments: Unveiling the Top 5 Rolex Watches
Posted by AIS Watches on Aug 1st 2023
If you're looking to invest in a luxury watch, we've got some good news: the prices and values of Rolex watches are on the rise. In fact, their value has risen by nearly 20% since 2016. This makes sense considering that Rolex is one of the most prestigious brands in the world. In addition to being a top-tier watchmaker, Rolex also owns several patents for its technology which makes it unique from other brands.
Rolex Explorer II Ref. 1655
If you're looking for an iconic Rolex watch, the Explorer II Ref. 1655 is your best bet. Introduced in 1971 and discontinued only 23 years later in 1983, this model was one of Rolex's most popular sports watches. The stainless steel case measures 40mm in diameter and features a fixed bezel with 12-hour marker (which can also be used as a tachymeter). It comes with a black dial featuring luminescent hands and hour markers along with two subdials at 6 o'clock for seconds and 30 minutes chronograph elapsed time counter respectively.
The movement powering this classic timepiece is Caliber 1570; an automatic movement known for its reliability while being resistant to magnetic fields greater than 1 Gauss--ideal for those who spend much time outdoors or travel frequently by plane!
Rolex Datejust Ref. 16234
The Rolex Datejust Ref. 16234 is a classic watch that has made its mark in the world of horology. It's one of the most sought-after models and has been since it was first released in 1945.
The Rolex Datejust Ref. 16234 has a simple design, but it also features several innovative features that make this piece stand out from other watches in its category. For example, this watch features an automatic movement with date function at 3 o'clock on the dial as well as small seconds at 9 o'clock on the same face area--allowing you to see both timekeeping functions simultaneously without having to move your eyes around too much!
Another thing worth mentioning about this particular model is how easy it is for new owners who aren't familiar with complicated mechanisms like those found inside many high-end mechanical movements (like those used by Rolex). The company has made sure that even casual users can operate their watches without any problems whatsoever thanks largely due their use modern technology such as electronic sensors instead mechanical ones which require constant maintenance over long periods due wear-and-tear caused by everyday use.
Rolex GMT-Master II Ref. 16710
The Rolex GMT-Master II Ref. 16710 is an excellent investment. This watch has been around for a long time and has a strong following among collectors and enthusiasts, so it's sure to hold its value over time. It's also a good value for the money, with most models selling for under $15K at AIS Watches (and some even lower!).
The design of this model has remained relatively unchanged since its introduction in 1954, making it one of the most recognizable watches ever made. Its classic looks make it appropriate for almost any occasion--from workwear to formal wear--and its functionality makes it useful whether you're traveling or just want something that keeps track of time zones as easily as possible without taking up too much space on your wrist.
Rolex Submariner Ref. 16610
The Rolex Submariner Ref. 16610 is a watch you should consider if you're looking for a Rolex model that can last for generations and will never go out of style. The watch was first introduced in the 1960s, but it wasn't until the 1980s when James Bond wore this model as his signature timepiece in Live and Let Die, that people started to take notice of its design. The Submariner Ref. 16610 is also known as The James Bond Watch because it has been featured so prominently in all eight films featuring 007--Dr No, Goldfinger, Thunderball,[1] On Her Majesty's Secret Service,[2] Diamonds Are Forever,[3] Live And Let Die[4], Tomorrow Never Dies[5], Casino Royale[6].
The Rolex Oyster Perpetual Datejust II Automatic 36mm Steel & Yellow Gold Ladies Watch 36mm YG/SS (Certified Pre-Owned) has an automatic movement with 26 jewels; sapphire crystal; stainless steel case; leather strap with folding buckle clasp closure system; white arabic numerals on black dial face.
Rolex Explorer II Ref. 16570
The Rolex Explorer II Ref. 16570 is a great investment piece. It's rare, but not as expensive as other Rolex watches. This makes it an ideal watch for everyday wear and can be worn in any situation or setting.
It was made in the 1980s and has been discontinued, so if you want one, now is the time!
In our opinion, these are the top five watches to consider investing in at AIS Watches. The Explorer II and Datejust are two of the most iconic Rolex models that have been around since the brand first began making them in the 1940s. They both have impeccable design aesthetics and will never go out of style no matter what kind of trends come and go over time. The GMT-Master II is also a timeless classic that has been popular among pilots since its introduction in 1955 due to its ability to tell time in multiple time zones at once while also being waterproof up till 100 meters deep underwater thanks to its Oyster caseback which protects against water pressure while keeping everything inside protected from dust particles too! Lastly but not leastly we have another classic model called Submariner which comes with either an automatic movement or manual winding mechanism depending on how much money you want spend on it; both options work great though so don't worry about getting anything less than perfect unless someone steals it from under your nose!
