Have $50,000 to spend. What Rolexes would you add to this collection?
Hi folks,

Current collection comprises the following:

1. 126500ln Black
2. 126500ln White
3. Tudor Black Bay 54

Lucky enough to have $50,000 to spend on watches. What piece or pieces would you add to this collection? Could be Rolex or Non Rolex. Please assume grey prices for all

If I had 50k in my watch fund I would figure out a way to purchase either a Patek 5170 black dial or an AP 15202. Very different watches, but both are on my want list.

152020 is above that in the secondary market. Don’t have a way to get AP at retail though I wish I did!

I agree, Meteorite Pepsi. Although I have seen these go for USD 56k on the grey market, 50k is not out of the question as a middle ground

As none of the current Rolex line excites me I would keep the 50k in the bank.

I would add a PM and a SS GMT of choice. Specially a DD and Pepsi. Figure if you have 50k what’s a few more…

Needs some colour - a blue dial VC overseas and a 16710 with assortment of bezels are likely modern classics and add some variety.

I would skip Rolex and go for an Omega, Cartier, VC, AP, PP, other great brands out there...

I’d go white gold sub or DD (love the yellow gold and green dial) at retail.

Patek 5524G, 5235G, maybe a 5960 or a 5167 could all be had grey. You have Rolex covered.

$50K gets you two premier watches that I currently own, wear and love.
AP ROO GHOST (so much fun and $20K off the new current 43mm MSRP)
PP 5135 Yellow Gold (Also $20K off original MSRP - still an incredibly cool dress watch that never fails to impress)……
