4 Rolex Models Every Collector Must Own

**Collaborative Post**

The moment you hear the word ‘Rolex’, you know what follows. The long trail of adjectives only seems to multiply every year as the biggie continues releasing more and more iconic pieces. While all Rolex creations are ridiculously sought-after, the crown’s selection of complicated timepieces is usually more hyped. So, when you find complicated Rolex watches in the market, you know a million eyes are on it!

This increases the value of a typical Rolex tenfold – the insane and incredible level of demand and popularity amongst buyers and collectors. So, it’s obvious that you’ll get a solid ROI when you sell Rolex. But getting your hands on the right Crown can be quite intimidating with the endless options.

If you’re a collector looking for your next big Rolex, here are the top picks.

4 Rolex Models Collectors Should Buy Right Now

Rolex Oyster Perpetual Sky-Dweller

The Rolex Oyster Perpetual Sky-Dweller was initially designed for the globe trotters but eventually became popular among Hollywood icons and other famous dignitaries. Today, it is extremely sought-after among collectors who want a piece of this ultra-complicated Rolex. The watch boasts two major complications – a GMT and an easy-to-read annual calendar. Available in precious metals like white gold, yellow gold and rose gold, the watches come with various dial and bracelet options. A compelling blend of elegance and technical sophistication is what summarises the Sky-Dweller.

Rolex Cellini Moonphase

A traditional dress watch combined with modern-age complications is what introduces the Rolex Cellini line. While the original line was introduced in the 1950s, this sophisticated collection got its makeover in 2014. It was in 2017 when the Cellini Moonphase version was released in a stunning 18ct Everose gold case. One glance and you’ll know that this is a class-apart showstopper. The dial has an intricate moon phase display at 6 o’clock, inside which a lunar cycle is presented by a silver ring and a full moon is displayed by the meteorite disc. That’s not all! There’s a date ring on the dial’s outer circumference, too. If you’ve been seeking a Rolex dress watch, the Cellini Moonphase is one stellar option.

Rolex Yacht-Master II

If you’re an outdoor kind of person, it cannot get any better than the Rolex Yacht-Master. The Yacht-Master has always been a purpose-built watch. It looks luxurious without compromising on robustness, reliability and resistance. However, the heart of this piece is the dial, flaunting complex countdown. The dial centre times regatta races. It also features a ring command bezel, which sets the countdown timer and a chronograph. From stainless steel to platinum, you’ll find this stunning Rolex creation in four different metal combinations that will certainly please the collectors out there.

Rolex GMT-Master II ‘Pepsi’

For hardcore watch enthusiasts, the very mention of the Rolex ‘Pepsi’ elicits a sigh. Before you get us wrong, the watch sells for double its original price in the pre-owned market. Yes, it is that sought-after! There are long waiting lists, and getting your hands on one is probably impossible. The Pepsi, most famous for its blue and red bezel, was developed in 1955 for the Pan AM pilots to keep track of the time in different time zones. Before 2018, the Pepsi was made in 18ct white gold and sold out like hotcakes, fetching a significant ROI to those with one. Today, you can find one in stainless steel, which is equally in demand. No matter the decade, the Rolex Pepsi models will always exceed their actual price and are a great investment.


Conclusion

Rolex watches are surely a thing to be celebrated. It’s sometimes insane to think how a mass-produced timepiece from a few years or decades ago can achieve a price like that in the market where you can sell your Rolex at nearly double or triple its original value. Really-just think about that! But honestly, each time it happens, it’s a testament to the increased enthusiasm among the world’s top watch collectors.
