Rolex 2022 Price Increase! So what’s your Rolex worth now?
Older and newer Rolex watch models are worth more
The Rolex watch brand, what many believe to be the Mercedes Benz of luxury watches has a rolled out a 2022 price increase on their watches. The reasons exactly are unknown for the increase in Rolex value but many stipulate that the increase is done simply to preserve the brand image in terms of being a top watch brand and maintaining its elite position as a status symbol for top earners.
The increase in price is seen in different Rolex watch lines, both in stainless steel and two-tone watch models.
Here are some examples shown below:
For example; the top racing chronograph watch, the Rolex Daytona (Ref. 116500) has seen an increase of 10.5% with an increase from $13,171 in 2021 to $14,406 in 2022.
The popular travelers/pilots watch, the GMT-Master II (Ref. 126710BLNR) shifted by 11% from $9,666 in 2021 to $10,621 in 2022.

The watches mentioned above are stainless steel models so the price increase cannot really be associated with a precious metal value increase as steel is not considered one.
Two-tone watches have seen an increase in price as well. Some may attribute to the fact that gold is reaching prices it has not seen since 2013, however it is unlikely that if gold was to drop that the Rolex would respond with a drop in the price of its gold and steel watch models.
The Rolex two-tone Submariner (Ref. 116613), has seen the biggest shift in Rolex’s price hike moving up from $14,100 in 2020 to $14,867 in 2022 reaffirming its position as one of Rolex’s most sought after sports models.

Many would try to correlate this shift in relating to the values of commodities throughout the year however the Rolex Hulk is another stainless steel watch meaning that this rise in price is seen as commodity/currency like a top trading blockchain-based cryptocurrency, making Rolex brand watches almost a commodity of its own.
