Icon19 The 10 Most Expensive Rolex Gold Watches of All-Time

Interesting article in Money Inc...

Rolex isn’t a luxury watch company; it is the premier luxury watchmaker. There’s a lot of talk about good watches, and indeed, there are plenty to choose from. However, the gold standard in the industry has been Rolex for decades. Of course, gold is the worldwide standard for value, hence the name. Combining the two only seems natural. What are the ten most expensive Rolex gold watches of all time? We did a deep dive to find them all. Notably, some outlandishly pricey Rolexes did not make this list because they are titanium or even steel....

1. Paul Newman’s 1968 Cosmograph Daytona $17.8 million

There is some confusion and mystery around this particular watch. Paul Newman, a prolific collector of Rolex, is said to have given it to his daughter’s college boyfriend, James Cox, after which it disappeared from sight. Years later, it turned up, still on the wrist of James Cox, who agreed to auction it. However, given the similarity to The Legend, which is listed as a 1969 watch, this may, in fact, be the other yellow gold sibling in that series. We were unable to confirm whether the watches were actually from two different years as of this writing. However, the one that sold in 2017 for $17.8 million currently holds the world record for the most expensive Rolex ever.


Final Thoughts

Every one of these watches is a practical and useful work of art. Whether you prefer something minimalist, or an ornate, diamond-encrusted white-gold wonder, this list has them all. Choosing the right watch is like any other accessory. It can make your look by elevating an otherwise plain suit or break it by clashing and looking out of place. No matter your taste, all of these watches are the absolute creme of the crop. Would you wear a watch worth more than most people’s homes and wealth combined? The owners of these ten most expensive gold Rolexes of all time have.

The 10 Most Expensive Rolex Gold Watches of All-Time

That is the screwiest article I’ve read in many a year. The title says “Gold Rolex”. And then, she calls a TT SS GMT dial Rose Gold?

The sleeping beauty OP is TT.

She prefaces the list with “Notably, some outlandishly pricey Rolexes did not make this list because they are titanium or even steel.”

Which Rolex is made of Titanium?

And the PLN record breaker again is SS
