At Phillips auction, vintage ROLEX continued to increase value. The recent feeling though is that ‘Paul Newman’ models have risen too quickly. Nevertheless, a global flow of normal Daytona models remain attractive and popular. After the price of Submariners suddenly stopped rising recently, I feel like now it has reached a peak, a harsh indication of what the future holds for the large number of Submariners still out there.

Design specification for the ‘1 Line and Daytona mark’ in 6239, instead of the so-called ‘SOLO’ 6240 model — To summarise, it’s said that the very prominent logo of the expensive Big Daytona was replaced due to smaller logos now being considered exclusive and no logo whatsoever considered the most expensive of all.

The Peruvian army model, 6265 — I don’t know whether there is a stamp on the back cover or not, but I wonder if this is a sign of its increased value? Now that the Oman military Daytona model has become similar price, maybe the same thing will happen. The Peruvian military also includes the famous Paul Newman 6262 model..

Even though this is an 18K gold Paul Newman Rolex with black dial and a Hermes-engraved screw back, I wonder what will happen? There is no doubt that currently it is invaluable. After all, it’s 18K pure gold stepped Paul Newman. But I wonder what the estimate would be? I’m hesitant to guess, despite it having being engraved.
