A Rolex does not depreciate like an ordinary watch: some references resell above their retail price. Yet the gap between two buy-back offers on the very same watch routinely exceeds 15%, depending on whether the buyer is a generalist or a Rolex specialist.
What drives the buy-back price
- The exact reference and its production year (series, dial, bezel);
- A complete full set: box, papers, invoice, warranty card;
- The condition of the bracelet, crystal and bezel, and any play in the links;
- Service history and original parts;
- How tight the market is on that reference at the time of sale.
Indicative ranges by reference
- Submariner: €5,750 to €11,500 depending on condition and reference;
- Daytona in steel: €15,200 to €22,800; gold versions: up to €41,000;
- GMT-Master II: €7,900 to €16,600;
- Datejust: €4,100 to €9,550 depending on diameter and material;
- Day-Date: €11,300 to €36,200;
- Oyster Perpetual: €1,850 to €7,550.

Why go through Ligokero
We submit your watch, photo file included, to several specialist Rolex dealers, then present you with only the selected offer. Our 10% commission is charged only if a sale is completed — and is usually lower than the gain generated by putting buyers in competition.
