Rolex watches have transcended their utilitarian purpose to become symbols of status and achievement. The brand’s association with high-profile events, celebrities, and athletes has further reinforced its standing in popular culture. Cultural icons like Paul Newman, Steve McQueen, James Bond, and Martin Luther King Jr. have all sported Rolex watches. The collector's market for vintage Rolex watches is diverse, with enthusiasts that are casual buyers to serious investors and focused collectors.
