Which Rolex watches hold their value best?

Historically, some of the strongest demand has been concentrated around desirable professional models and particular configurations.

Examples include:

* Daytona
* GMT-Master II, including “Batman” and “Pepsi” configurations
* Certain Submariner references
* Selected discontinued or collectible models

But even within the same model, reference number, dial, metal, year, and condition matter enormously.

A steel Daytona and a diamond-set precious-metal Rolex shouldn’t be valued using the same formula.
