Need Help to ID my Father's Watches

My late father had a couple of Rolex that appear to have been stolen from the house. We have found some paperwork from when they were serviced some years back, but an internet search of the reference numbers on the paperwork from Rolex has not verified the models I believe they were (I saw him wearing them). The paperwork also includes the serial numbers, and I would like to connect the models I think he had with the serial numbers.

Reference 210195035

Reference 210171864

Any help would be appreciated.

I can’t find either of those reference numbers on a search. Are you sure that’s not an invoice number or the like? Are the recent or vintage?
Post some pictures of them to get a better answer.

Those are neither serial numbers or reference numbers. Post pics of the the paperwork (the part where it describes what what was done to the watch), redact any personal information and one of the members here will be able to help you out.

Maybe those are service invoice reference numbers?

If you can scan each one of those papers (and redact the personal info), then post them as a pic, perhaps someone could help.

Sorry about this happening, of course it’s time to file a police theft report.

That's where I'm headed with this, but without model numbers I don't know what I can do. I have the serial numbers, but since he had more than these two I want to make sure the serial numbers are the two missing watches before filing a report. He was not good at keeping papers with boxes.

I was afraid the numbers were invoices for the service rather than the watches. The paperwork does have the serial numbers, which is a start. Unfortunately I do not have pictures of the watches. They are either Datejust or Day Date (I don't recall which, but I think one of each), all gold, purchased in the 1990s.

Maybe I can check with Rolex.

Your numbers look like a service reference, not the watches' reference (model) numbers.

If the watches were serviced by a Rolex Service Center, the Model number and description will be on the paperwork under WATCH DESCRIPTION.

The service confirmation form format has changed over the years, but the info has remained essentially the same.

It's weird being the same age as old people.
