Rolex Model Numbers
Rolex has an individual model number assigned to every type of watch that it has ever made. Although each watch could actually have a different style of case, dial, hands, bezel and bracelet the model number is that assigned to that type of watch.
The Rolex model number is usually found engraved between the lugs of the watch on the case at the 12 o’clock position behind where the bracelet fits. On early models and some gold models it can be found inside the case back. Do not try to remove the bracelet or caseback without the correct tools as you may damage or scratch the watch.
Below is a comprehensive list of all Rolex model numbers for the most common types of Rolex watch with the latest modern type coming first back to the oldest type last and usually only 4 digits.
If your watch is not listed here then try googling Rolex and your number to see what comes up or contact us and we can try and help further.
