Valuation and authentication for Rolex watches
What’s new for the new addition of Vintage Rolex Sports Models.
I have researching and collecting Vintage Rolex watches for over 25 years. In 2002 my book ‘Vintage Rolex Sports Models’ was published by Schiffer Publishing. Now in its 4th edition it remains the definitive guide to collectible Rolex sports models, used by the world’s leading auction houses, dealers and collectors alike.
I have spent last year working on an update for my book and I am pleased to say that it is due in shops from October 2019. Christie’s and Sotheby’s have once again allowed me to use their recent auction photographs and prices realised.
The new edition has been expanded to include a section on Double-Red Sea-Dweller dials, recent highlight sales from Christie’s and Sotheby’s, a new price guide for all sports models and the text has been updated throughout.
The book is available in English and German versions with a Japanese language version planned for 2021.
At the time of it initial publication it was the first book to have input from both Christie’s and Sotheby’s, and I am delighted that they continue to support the book.
