Many people decide to own a Rolex watch. Despite them being more expensive when compared to others, owning a Rolex watch is what people across the world yearn to do. The same also applies when the decision has been made to sell Rolex watches because demand is high. There are various reasons that are behind why a Rolex watch remains very popular and shows no signs of abating:

Recognised around the world

There are many brands whose popularity hasn’t been affected no matter what happens. Along with Nike, Levi, McDonalds, Cadbury and Coca Cola, Rolex is an infamous brand. Although other watch manufacturers i.e. Cartier, are also recognisable, they are not as well-known as Rolex. The reason that explains why is largely attributed to the consistent high quality of every model.

They become more valuable

Many Rolex models don’t retain their value. In fact, some models become increasingly valuable over time. When a Rolex watch is purchased and kept in its original box in a safe, it can be worth far more in the future. Many people decide to buy a Rolex watch because they view it as an asset. Parents even purchase a valuable model so that it can be left to their children in their Will.

Patek Philippe may actually be the best watch brand around, although they aren’t as well known as brands such as Rolex. The unparalleled renown and prestige that Patek Philippe has acquired amongst connoisseurs is not due solely to the perfection of the watches and the resources of knowledge and skill contained in the workshops. This undisputed supremacy also stems from the consistency with which the company has applied its philosophy of excellence ever since it was founded in 1839. That spirit is embodied in ten values that have always represented the very essence of Patek Philippe and will continue to do so for generations to come.

As we live in a world where technology and creativity continues to expand and grow, nothing is deemed impossible anymore. From solar energy to electric cars, we've seen an incredible increase in technology over the past century. The world is filled with a tonne of contemporary designs that we never thought would be possible. From the latest iPhone to a HD 3D television, the 21^st century is also overloaded with materialistic things we just have to have.

Over the past few years, watches have become more of a materialistic object rather than a practical piece, with many people buying them as an accessory to add to their outfit. With many designers creating their own timepiece collections such as mens Diesel watches, buying a watch is not just about telling the time, it is also about fashion.
