Rolex Watches Production Years [Complete List of Rolex Watches Production Years]
Rolex has released a lot of different references over the years. If we are also talking bracelet and dial configurations, we are in the thousands.
For the sake of documentation, and for understanding the history behind each Rolex reference, we have created an extensive list of the production years for almost all Rolex watches that the company has ever made. This extensive list includes tons of references in all of Rolex’s model lines – including ultra-rare and little-known timepieces and their respective production periods. Unlike much of the information out there, the production years for each model in this list are not guesswork or estimates, they are official data from Rolex. Since it can be difficult to find the exact production years for some models, we are happy to provide this list and share this important and interesting information with the community.
Whilst the list is extensive, if you are missing a reference, please do not hesitate to leave a comment and we will be happy to add it.
All references are categorized into their respective model line of which they are a part to make it easier to filter. If you’re looking for a particular Rolex reference, you can use CTR+F, or CMD+F on Mac and then search for the reference number.
