I would not essentially declare that each fashionable Rolex is a “collector’s merchandise,” no matter that phrase means to you, pricey reader, however as a lot as it’s, I believe it is perhaps. Particularly if Rolex solely finally ends up making it for a 12 months or so (it is alleged to be celebrating the a hundredth anniversary of Le Mans, in any case). For instance, if the primary one seems on the secondary market (sadly), what is going to the demand be, 100,000? Does it even matter? Extra broadly, it is maybe probably the most blatant historic reference we have seen in latest reminiscence from Rolex, a model we’re at all times instructed, “It would not make a legacy.” With this launch, coupled with latest public sale outcomes ( courtesy of Rolex itself), it is clear that Rolex cares about its historical past as a lot as anybody else. And for others (like me, and possibly even you) who’re additionally digging into his story, this can be a very powerful information of all.
