Rolex Watches That Collectors Don’t Even Know Of
When it comes to wristwatches, originality is what defines a model. Uniqueness, on the other hand, is what grabs the attention of the wearer and sells a specific model. Typically, this is what defines Rolex watches. The rareness the iconic watchmaker uses on its watches is what has retained its strong reputation.
One of the attributes which enhance the uniqueness of Rolex watches is that their materials have been developed entirely in-house. If it’s the Oystersteel, for instance, no other watchmaker uses it. Furthermore, its (Oystersteel) toughness has also ensured all the brand’s watches can survive on dry land and water impeccably.
There are several watch models that Rolex has created distinctively from the rest using gems, and or exclusive design. In our highlights, I will begin with Datejust Date 116234-0143 which Rolex designers thought could be nicer with a flowery touch.
Rolex Datejust 36 Floral White Gold steel
Generally, most watch enthusiasts know Rolex watches for their Oyster steel, gold, or sunburst dials. As a brand for the dignitaries, the Geneva-based company rarely uses decorations on the dial of its watches.
However, to fulfill everyone’s desire, Rolex decided to have Datejust 116234-0143 with an exceptional dial that is neither flashy nor ornamental. But with a floral motif touch that adds finer shine to its chronometer certification. On this dial, the 36mm watch has white gold hands and bold hour numerals for 6 and 9 o’clock only.
Rolex 116234-0143 has its outer case in white Rolesor of white gold and stainless steel. Similar to the rest of the Datejust models, the robust case has a round fluted bezel that seems to connect with the steel-gold bracelet.
As a certified chronometer, Datejust 116234-0143 houses an automatic Caliber 3135 Perpetual movement. This guarantees the Rolex Watch high-precision of time and date which can last for up to 48 hours without winding.
Rolex Daytona MOP Leather White Gold
In most of the current Rolex racing Daytona watches, the bracelet is either in Oyster steel or the new Oysterflex which replaced Leather straps. This leaves Daytona MOP 116519-MOP-G one of its kind with its alligator skin straps and the mother of pearl dial.
Though this model lies in the collection of Rolex watches for men, the rainbow dial makes every lady pine for it. Their liking gets even bolder when they sight its diamond setting which acts as the watch’s indexes.
Externally, Rolex Daytona MOP 116519-MOP-G shines with the brilliance of a highly polished white gold case with a racing tachymetric-bezel. The 40mm case houses a powerful perpetual movement that offers accurate time and chronograph functions from 1/8 second up to 12 hours.
Rolex Datejust II Black Gold
In spite of its unmatched elegance, Rolex Datejust II 116333/10 G is a watch you’ll not find with many. In fact, not even many collectors have it in their glassed displays. Collectively, Rolex Datejust II 116333 made its first appearance in 2009 and it features a larger casing, alongside more updates than the traditional model. Some people usually refer to the watch as the “Wimbledon dial”– a name I’m not even sure where it came from. Or perhaps it’s from the Wimbledon tennis tournament where Rolex is known to be highly invested in.
Amongst the models encompassed in the Datejust II collection, the black 116333/6 happens to be my favorite model. This is because of the remarkable efforts its ebony black dial outputs as it tries to shine as the highly-polished yellow gold bezel. When viewed at an angle, the luminous gold hands and the hour Arabic numerals appear to be floating on a Blackhole.
For the outer casing, Rolex fitted Rolex Datejust II 116333/10 G with Rolesor two-tone combination of precious yellow gold and its robust Oyster steel. This ensures the watch is both ornate and strong enough to function in water as well, although at 100M-depth maximum.
Similar to the other Datejust II models, this unspoken Rolex watch runs with a 31-jewel Caliber 3136 perpetual movement. As a certified Swiss chronometer, the self-winding movement can reserve power for up to 48 hours, whilst maintaining high precision of time and date.
Rolex Submariner White Gold Paved Diamond Dial
Personally, I don’t believe there’s any other actor who’s a fan of Rolex watches than Mark Wahlberg. Disregarding the fact he’s a millionaire, Mark has been featured wearing at least 5 different Rolexes, ranging from the classic Daytona to the ornate Submariner 116659 SABR. His 116659 SABR, however, is not what we’re to discuss.
Unlike Mark’s 116659 SABR that has a diamond-set case and blue dial, Submariner White Gold 116659 SABR has a diamond-pave dial. With additional 8 blue sapphires as hour markers.
In case you’re wondering if the Submariner is really for divers, don’t be surprised but its sapphire-diamond bezel is still unidirectionally rotatable. Its case features a Rolesor two-tone combination of white gold and 904L Oystersteel which helps retain the watch’s 300M waterproofness, alongside a luxury feel.
Rolex Oyster Perpetual Silver Steel
Similarly, this model is on its own but in a world of many. Will you give it company?
Robust, stylish, and versatile. Rolex Oyster Perpetual 177234-SSO features a superlative design of a silvery profile entirely. On the face, this watch presents a 31mm silvered steel case with a fixed fluted bezel which is silvered as well. As a Rolex fan, I’m sure you feel these outer features in resemblance to the Datejust collection.
After you get to the inner casing of this Rolex watch, though, that’s when you realize it’s neither Datejust nor other Oyster Perpetual models. The watch’s silvered dial has 3 Extra Large hour numerals which appear to be floating over the black concentric rings.
As a certified chronometer, Rolex Oyster Perpetual 177234-SSO houses a Swiss Made automatic perpetual movement, thus, highly reliable for time precision.
