Rolex Price Evolution


This is a table that illustrates Rolex retail prices increase over time. This table orginated from a handout that a Rolex AD gave me in 2005 to illustrate how the prices increase over the years, or put differently at the time, how the US dollar has devaluated. An inflation calculator is posted here to see how a Rolex purchased in the past would cost in current dollars.
