Starting a Rolex Collection? Here Are 7 Watches You Need to Know
Collecting Rolex can be daunting, even for experienced collectors. Getting your hands on the right Rolex can be like capturing the Iron Throne. Unless you’re one of Rolex’s most loyal customers—that means buying multiple high-priced pieces a year—you will probably have to pick your Rolexes up on the secondary market. Enter Paul Altieri, founder of the new and pre-owned timepiece e-tail portal Bob’s Watches, who is known for being a trusted Rolex dealer as well as a serious Rolex collector in his own right.
We asked Altieri for his recommendations on the best Rolex models to collect, from a beginner’s piece to the reference that will affirm your status as a collecting king. And, for the final recommendations, Robb Report‘s digital watch editor, Allen Farmelo, offers up two of his favorites. These choices lean toward affordable vintage pieces that are a good starting point for those into the older Rollies.
