Vintage Rolex is Booming Trendy in Asia

Overwelmend of the impressions of my latest Asia trip, I can tell you that vintage Rolex is booming and very populair with trendy asians that like to personalise their own style. What better you can do by buying yourself a vintage Rolex, mostly unique in it’s look, different from new watch everybody around you already has also, more pure, deeper history and honest values, lot’s of different details that make it hard to understand correctly, one has to understand before to spend, adjustable to your charisma, already investment proof and very addictive passion. Top ingredients that are already very trendy for all in Singapore, KL, Jakarta and off course Hong Kong but also for those massive China mainlanders within the next 5 years. Everywhere where I come, I meet great guys that are ‘infected’ by the Vintage Rolex Bug. All are searching for more information, certainty and trust which shows me that the interest to understand vintage Rolex is massive. Many are ready to step in and join the passion. It’s therefore great to experience that I meet  so many interesting people that care to discuss the wonders of our beloved brand. So let’s start in my home town Maastricht and go backwards to see what I experienced in Hong Kong and Singapore..

Up to Sotheby’s, that told me that they will start a permanent sales room in HK to meet up to their clients needs. That is that most asian clients want to buy immediatly and not wait till the actual auction. This phenomenon is called ” Privat Treaty ” which officially means ‘a sale of property at a price agreed on by the seller and buyer without an intervening auction’. So a permanent Sotheby’s store opened for their best clients to shop & spend 😉 around their exclusive collection of fine and rare art, jewelry, watches etc. Logic move that tells us how rapidly the market is changing towards Asia.

Estimate: $ 50 million, each!

Sotheby’s Private Treaty offer also includes a nice collection of rare timepieces..
