Rolex is still the iconic embodiment of watchmaking art. And rightly so. As the pioneer in the watch industry, Rolex has built an unparalleled reputation. It is therefore logical that buying your first Rolex is a special milestone that you want to take a moment to reflect on.
But how do you choose the best Rolex to start with? And which models are really value for money? In this blog, we highlight some of the gems that Rolex has to offer.
Which Rolex model to buy first? It's up to you
Of course, you are free to choose which model best suits your personal style. However, Rolex has so-called entry-level models within its product range that are perfectly suited for those taking their first step into the world of luxury watches.
Rolex Datejust 41mm
De Rolex Datejust is considered an excellent entry-level model in the watch world, given the versatility of the watch in combination with the price. With a price range between 10.000 and 15.000 euros for a vintage or new watch, this model is relatively low in the price segment for a Rolex. But that does not mean that the watch does not have iconic status and refined finishing.
On the contrary, the Datejust stands for high quality and the precision you would expect from a Rolex. The 41 mm model is also available in different materials and colours, allowing you to tailor it to your personal style. Excellent to combine with a T-shirt, but also suitable for a formal occasion with a suit.

Rolex GMT-Master
Still is the Rolex GMT-Master a showcase for detailed craftsmanship, functional innovation and timeless elegance. Launched in 1950, it remains one of the most popular watches in the Rolex product range. An excellent entry-level model with an iconic look that immediately draws attention.
The model is available in different versions. Think of the classic black bezel, the colorful Pepsi in blue and red, or the Batman in blue and black. The GMT-Master in 40 mm has a sporty look, but remains stylish enough to wear on business occasions.
Rolex Submariner
De Submariner, of course! With a similar look to the GMT-Master, the Submariner has positioned itself as the watch for diving enthusiasts and adventurers. It is available in different versions, including the classic steel model and versions with a gold or platinum bezel.
It is one of the most famous models of the Swiss watch brand Rolex and is often seen as the perfect entry-level choice. The purchase price is relatively low compared to other watches, making it an attractive option for those buying their first Rolex. This model can also be worn perfectly with a sporty, business or casual outfit.
