Rolex, according to BusinessWeek, is one of the world’s 100 most valuable brands. The Swiss company’s timepieces are almost synonymous with wealth and status, but Rolex is curiously absent from the list of the world’s top ten most expensive watches. That’s why we’ve decided to let you know about the most expensive Rolex watches in the world.
The most expensive Rolex ever sold at auction was a “Paul Newman” Rolex Oyster Cosmograph “Daytona” sold at a Sotheby’s event in June, 2003. This prototype wristwatch, featuring a red dial and black sub-dials, was produced in 1979. It sold for £210,000—around US $350,000.
Rumors persist regarding a Rolex sold at Selfridges in London for a fantastic price of £8 million—over US $15 million—but they seem to be rumors only.

how this bilinear’ spend there many !!!
this is the way!
Unbelievable craftsmanship
A “show-off” item, I don’t call a $350,000 exactly well spent, for this money it is possible to create a profitable mid-sized corporation, Invest in frugal product R&D, buy yourself a few cars, feed entire population of Africa’s children for entire year, and still have some $ left, it is possible, its been done before. Its just happens that alot of those millionaires are in la-la land, especially when they are in “entertaiment” or “sports” business, can some kind heart give me $300,000 instead for me to help the world??? -_- I thought so.
It’s really 2 Expensive and Exclusive. But I’ve a Rolex, I bought when I was in Kuala Lumpur.
It's a watch. That is it. No need to pay £250,000 for something to tell the time. jesus christ.
