How many Rolex have been created?
As I was sitting in front of my iPad watching and reading The Rolex Perpetual Spirit, I thought "I wonder how many Rolex watches have been created?" So.... Anyone?

At a serious guess, we're talking millions. I reckon somewhere around 10 million watches all in all

my brains farting so maybe I was thinking too technical,
did you mean how many total different designs/models + yearly differences ?
or created in mass production ?

Got to be over 10 million, I'm pretty sure they're selling over a million watches a year easy

It's not easy to know for sure, but COSC are certifying c. 750000 Rolex watches per year. Production has not always been this high

It's way over 10 million, probably north of 20 million.
