When you think of an “investment watch,” Rolex is the brand that comes to mind, right? That’s because they have a near-mythical reputation. But ask any true watch collector—those who’ve bought a Jaeger or Patek—and they’ll tell you that a Rolex is one of the few that live up to the hype. They are among the most reliable, no-fuss mechanical watches in the world. And they’ll never, ever go out of style. If you’re not sure which to buy, you can’t go wrong with a classic Oyster Perpetual—perhaps the humblest Rolex, but no less impressive with its understated style and signature Rolex bracelet.
