The market for collectible watches is picking up speed again, and with it, the prices of Rolex watches are heading in the right direction!

After a marked slowdown, the February 23, 2025 auction in Fontainebleau set the tone for a well-regulated recovery.

With an exceptional sales rate of 90% — 200 watches sold out of 225 — the enthusiasm of collectors and investors is undeniable.
Some pieces even doubled in value in just two months, proving the market is regaining its precision.

A rapid rebound:
A watch estimated at 2,500 euros in December 2024 was finally sold for 5,300 euros in February 2025, marking a stunning acceleration.
The legendary ROLEX Sea-Dweller Ref. 1665 (1981) was sold for 24,000 euros.
The iconic ROLEX GMT "Pepsi" Long E Ref. 1675 (1968) reached 10,000 euros.
The highly sought-after ROLEX Daytona Ref. 116503 (2015) was sold for 18,000 euros.


Like a diving watch resurfacing after a long immersion, Rolex watches are making their ascent and setting the rhythm of a dynamic market once again.
The hands are now turning in the right direction for collectors and investors! A trend to keep a close eye on… and on time, during the next auctions!

Upcoming auctions:
Collectible Watches on Sunday, April 27th in Versailles and Sunday, June 29th in Fontainebleau
