Rolex manufactures almost every component in-house to exacting tolerances, uses premium materials such as 904L Oystersteel, solid 18ct gold and platinum, and every watch is a certified Superlative Chronometer. Tight supply against very high demand also supports strong prices — which is why Rolex holds its value better than almost any other luxury purchase.
At The Crown Vault the pre-owned Submariner starts from £6,595, the Datejust from £3,550 and the Cosmograph Daytona from £13,005. Exact prices depend on the reference, year, condition and whether the watch is a full set with box and papers.
We don't offer in-house finance, but you can reduce the cost by part-exchanging a watch you already own — get a free, no-obligation valuation and put it towards your purchase. We accept secure UK bank transfer and cryptocurrency, and every watch is authenticated and warranted.
