What does a Rolex cost? Part 2: Including Box and Papers

A question we are frequently asked is: how much does a Rolex cost? In our previous blog article, we provided an overview of the prices of different Rolex models. We also mentioned that the presence of the original box and papers is another aspect that can influence the total cost. Here, we would like to delve deeper into this topic.

At Trophies Watches, we understand that many watch enthusiasts value the original box and papers. The box and papers can confirm the authenticity and value of the watch and also play an important role if you ever decide to sell your Rolex.

When purchasing a new Rolex watch, it comes with the original box and papers. However, with pre-owned Rolex watches, it may happen that the box and papers are no longer available. This can be due to various reasons such as loss, damage, or the absence of a complete set from the original owner.

The presence of the box and papers can affect the price of a pre-owned Rolex. Watches with the complete set are often considered more valuable and may have a higher price compared to the same models without box and papers. The box and papers act as a kind of 'passport' for the watch and can confirm its authenticity, especially for older models where the original purchase date may be harder to determine.

For vintage pre-owned Rolex watches, the presence of the original box and papers may be less significant. Many of these watches were purchased decades ago and may have lost their box and papers over time. However, this does not mean they cannot be a good purchase.

At Trophies Watches, we understand that the authenticity and condition of the watch itself are often more important than the presence of the original box and papers, especially for older models. Our team of experts pays great attention to thoroughly examining and evaluating each watch we offer, regardless of whether it has the original documentation.

It is important to note that Rolex watches without box and papers can still be highly valuable and reliable. Many collectors and enthusiasts prefer to wear and enjoy watches rather than purely considering them as investments. If the watch is in good condition, functions well, and matches your personal taste and style, it can be an excellent choice even without the original documentation.

At Trophies Watches, we strive to offer Rolex watches with both the original box and papers unless stated otherwise. We understand that this is an important aspect for many collectors and enthusiasts. It provides a sense of completeness and offers peace of mind when purchasing a pre-owned watch.

The price of a Rolex watch including box and papers can vary depending on various factors such as the model, age, rarity, and overall condition of the watch. At Trophies Watches, we ensure that our prices are market competitive and based on these factors.

The most affordably priced Rolex watches with both box and papers in our collection also deserve special mention. These watches offer excellent value for money and are a great choice for those seeking a Rolex with complete documentation.
