As the year (and decade) draws to a close, it’s time to look back on what has been another hugely successful 12 months for Rolex. By far the most lucrative independent luxury watchmaker in the world, Rolex’s continued dominance is a testament to its enduring appeal, impeccable craftsmanship, and robust resale value. 2019, in particular, saw continued strong demand for Rolex watches in Australia, mirroring the global trend. While precise pricing from 2019 is difficult to definitively compile due to variations in retailer markups and the fluctuating Australian dollar, examining the market then provides valuable context for understanding today's prices and the enduring allure of the brand.
This article will delve into the Australian Rolex market of 2019, exploring the factors that influenced pricing, comparing it to the current market (2023), and providing insights into finding the best deals, whether it's a brand-new timepiece or a pre-owned certified Rolex. We will also touch upon the broader question of "how much does a Rolex cost?" focusing on the Australian market.
Rolex Australia Price List 2019 (Approximations): Unfortunately, a precise, publicly available Rolex Australia price list from 2019 is unavailable. Rolex maintains a strict control over its pricing and distribution, and historical price lists are not readily accessible. However, we can provide estimations based on historical data and market trends. Prices would have varied depending on the specific model, material (stainless steel, gold, platinum), complications (date, chronograph, GMT), and the retailer. Keep in mind that authorized dealers typically adhered to Rolex's suggested retail prices, while grey market dealers often offered slightly lower prices, but with less warranty protection.
To illustrate, let's consider some popular models:
* Submariner (114060/116610LN): Likely ranged from approximately AUD $10,000 - $12,000 for the stainless steel versions. Variations with gold accents would have been significantly higher.
* Datejust (various): Prices would have varied greatly depending on the material and dial configuration, ranging from AUD $7,000 to well over AUD $20,000 for precious metal variants.
* GMT-Master II (116710LN/126710BLNR): Popular models like the Pepsi and Batman bezel variations would have been priced in the AUD $12,000 - $14,000 range.
* Day-Date (President): These prestigious models, often crafted in precious metals, would have started at well above AUD $25,000 and could easily exceed AUD $50,000 depending on the specifications.
These are broad estimations. For a more precise understanding of 2019 pricing for a specific model, researching archived online retailer listings or contacting authorized dealers directly (though obtaining historical pricing information might be challenging) might yield some results.
