In the last two posts, we made a brief introduction to the Rolex history, probably now you will be more interested in the Rolex watches. But which Rolex collection will you buy? Do you want to know more about every collection of the Rolex watches to pick the one most fit you? Here we’ll list a comprehensive collection of all the present Rolex watch lines to give you a general understanding.
One of the rules for Rolex’s success lies in its simple and consistent watch lines. Instead of releasing brand new models, Rolex keeps refining the existing designs. For example, the Rolex Oyster Perpetual was first produced in 1931 it is still one of the most popular models in the Rolex product line.
The special in Rolex watch line is that Rolex keeps making improvements on their watches based on the feedback and wearing experiences of the Rolex watches owners. The updated version will usually inherit the name of the original version. For example, the Rolex Submariner was actually a model that was first introduced in 1953 but still keeps its name.
It is said Rolex offered three watch lines: Oyster Perpetual, Professional and Cellini. But now as we can see from the Rolex official website, there is only two watch lines: The Oyster Perpetual Collection and The Cellini Collection. It seems the Professional watch line, such as the Submariner, GMT-Master, ExplorerII and so on, has been merged into the Perpetual watch line.
