How old is my Rolex?

Identify the year by looking at the Rolex serial number.

Would you like to know what year your Rolex is so that you can better estimate the value of your watch, for example? The date of sale noted on the guarantee certificate of the watch doesn't really help, since it only shows on which day the Rolex was sold, but not when it was produced. However, you can use the serial number to easily determine the approximate age of your Rolex watch yourself, whether it is a Rolex Daytona, Rolex Submariner, Rolex GMT Master, Rolex Explorer or any other Rolex model handelt. Simply enter the number in the following input field and start your search.

Since Rolex itself does not offer any official lists of numbers to determine the age of the watches, we recommend that you use our search to use it. This is based on the result of detailed research by Rolex collectors worldwide and ours own more than 40 years of experience. Even if we cannot give you a 100% guarantee for the correctness of the determined year of birth, it offers you at least an orientation to the age and thus the value of your Rolex watch.

Where is the serial number on Rolex watches?

Every Rolex watch has a serial number. On older models it is located on the side of the housing between the lugs at six o'clock. In order to see this, however, the tape has to be removed.

Until 1960, the quarter of the year in which the watch was manufactured was also noted on the lid of Rolex watches became. However, this information can only be seen when the clock is open.

Since 2007 the serial number is also engraved inside the watch on the rehaut at six o'clock.

Until 2010, watch serial numbers were assigned in chronological order, which is a good conclusion age allows. With the Rolex models from 2010, it is no longer possible to determine the year of production using the to determine the serial number. Rolex changed the numbering system and now uses an 8-digit one Random code (no longer consecutive) made up of numbers and letters. An age determination is therefore only Rolex itself possible.
