Entry-Level Rolex Prices
If you’re just getting started in the world of luxury watches, there are accessible entry points into the Rolex universe. Models like the Rolex Oyster Perpetual start around $5,000 to $7,000. These watches have no date window or flashy features, but they offer the reliability and prestige that come with the Rolex name.
If you’re after something with a bit more unique look and heritage, the Rolex Datejust is a great step up. Depending on the size, metal, and dial style, the Datejust typically costs between $8,000 to $15,000. Its fluted bezel and Cyclops date lens are instantly recognisable.
Mid-Range and Professional Models
Now, if you want something sporty with a legendary reputation, the Submariner or GMT-Master II might be more your speed. These watches are often priced in the $10,000 to $16,000 range for stainless steel versions. Two-tone or solid gold versions? Expect to pay more—sometimes significantly more.
At this tier, you’re not just buying a watch— you’re buying part of horological history. Either way, regardless of price, all Rolex models are stunning in their nature.
High-End and Collectable Rolex Watches
If you’re eyeing a Day-Date, Sky-Dweller, or Cosmograph Daytona, you’re stepping into the high-end category, where watches commonly start at $15,000 and can go beyond $50,000— especially when precious metals or diamonds are involved.
Some rare or vintage pieces, like Paul Newman Daytonas or platinum models, can easily command six figures at auction. But don’t worry— you don’t need to spend that much to enjoy the Rolex experience.

Why Consider Pre-Owned?

You also avoid the infamous Rolex waitlists.Â
Popular models like the Submariner or GMT-Master II are often impossible to buy new from an authorised dealer unless you’ve got a long-standing purchase history or are willing to wait months (if not years). With a pre-owned watch, you get what you want— now!
And let’s not forget: Rolex watches are built to last. A well-maintained pre-owned Rolex can serve you just as reliably as a new one and might even become more valuable over time. The good news? ATLtime provides Rolex repair services in case of any damage or change in components.
