Is there a pattern across Rolex retail prices?

[Croix]

Hello guys, I'm trying to figure out if a pattern can be found across Rolex retail prices. How accurate can retail prices be predicted by looking at things like the model, material type, bezel, and strap/bracelet?

Are you looking for a price list?

Retail prices are seldom based on materials or cosmetics.

There is a pattern, if you look at the line up of similar watch and see its increase in price based on the options.

In DateJust for example, going to the fluted bezel used to be $1k more, now it is $1400 to $2k more, diamond bezel used to be $5k more , now closer to $8k more. Two tone vs. SS (fluted) is about $3500 more.... so there is a pattern there and you can guesstimate the final price starting from a base and adding the options.

Best to just check the Rolex website where the prices are displayed except for the very high-end gemmed stuff.

And even less so for street prices, that is unless it costs $10k more to make a different dial or bezel color.

or a simple oyster perpetual (the simplest Rolex) costing much more than Sky dweller (the most complex Rolex)
