Gentleman’s 40mm Rolex Yachtmaster in 18ct Everose gold, model 126655 with “intense black” dial and Oysterflex strap / Everose Oysterlock clasp.

The NEW RRP is now £26,300 but this is one of many sports / professional models that has been hard to obtain in the UK and residual prices remain strong. The strap will fit an average man’s wrist and offers a small amount of adjustment at the clasp, but if a different length is required and we don’t have one in the necessary size to swap, then we may have to order one or more rubber parts on an exchange basis. We would anticipate doing this at no additional cost, but there may be some weeks’ wait for such a part to arrive from Rolex. Available from Miltons of Chester, under the famous clock.

It comes with beautiful Rolex box set, YOUR ROLEX OYSTER booklet and international Rolex papers dated February 2000.

This 1986 model with original BARK finish to bezel and bracelet is in very pleasing condition. It shows surprisingly little sign of wear to the bracelet, just a small bump on the underside of a link near the 12 o’clock end, where it cannot be seen once on the wrist, and we note that a generic glass (not by Rolex) has been fitted. Comes with large, brown “luggage-style” Rolex box, correct 1986 Day-Date booklet ( accessories which are themselves now quite valuable ! ), our own warranty card and a certificate from the ALR Watch Register confirming that we checked it with them. The nearest NEW equivalent is now £34,600 and good, pre-owned examples are difficult to find.

£32,999 Stock number: 52-79-006We love the highly-desirable, sparkling BAGUETTE DIAMOND DIAL on this rose gold Daytona – which is in fantastic condition ! 18ct “Everose” gold Rolex Cosmograph Daytona model 116515LN with stunning “sundust” / baguette diamond dial, black Oysterflex strap and ceramic bezel. These models are just as likely to be worn by gents or ladies now. Has large Rolex boxes, Cosmograph Daytona booklet, both swing-tags and international Rolex warranty card dated June 2018. The nearest NEW equivalent (if you can source one) is now £31,000 (and at the time of writing a baguette diamond dial appears to be offered ONLY on versions with a full diamond bezel), but availability of any similar specification Daytona remains poor which is reflected in the pre-owned market price. The strap will fit a man’s average wrist and offers a small amount of adjustment, but if a different length is required we may be able to swap it with one in stock or will order one on an exchange basis. We would anticipate doing this at no additional cost, but there may be some weeks’ wait for such a strap to arrive from Rolex. Additional pictures may be viewed by clicking through the main image.

As with the Daytona, it seems that a Rolex with complicated functions can prove exceptionally popular. This yellow gold model was launched only in 2012 but its brilliant condition suggests this one may be more recent. Comes with large Rolex boxes, Sky-Dweller booklet, red swing-tag and Rolex UK service card dated August 2023 when it had a full movement overhaul and new glass fitted at a cost of £1,268. Ask for our Rolex-trained specialists Phil or Paul to discuss this watch with you. This is a complicated time-piece, but as well as having that precious instruction booklet (phew!) its new owner may also refer to the online user guide and video available on Rolex’s own website. The NEW equivalent is now £42,100 but even at that price point you may not be able to source one quickly. An additional, close-up photograph of the beautiful dial may be viewed by clicking through the main image.

£14,999 Stock number: 52-61-004Interesting and collectible white gold Rolex! 36mm Rolex Day-Date model 18039 in 18ct white gold with grey-brown “ghost” / diamond dot dial on President 8385 bracelet. The “ghost” dials (usually pale colours with white text) have seen increased collector interest in recent years. In very good condition, this 1980s watch comes with large “luggage-style” Rolex box, correct Day-Date booklet (itself now increasingly valuable!), our own warranty card and a certificate from the ALR Watch Register confirming that we checked it with them. At considerable expense we have just fitted a number of new links direct from Rolex, but we do note that the dial is showing very slight signs of age and the glass is generic, NOT by Rolex. The 18039 introduced the “single quick-set” feature to allow easier setting than on previous versions of the Day-Date, thanks to its 3055 calibre movement. The NEW equivalent is now £35,800!

£25 Stock number: Misc.PT 114864GENUINE ROLEX service / storage / travel pouch with folding press-stud flap and simple green watch-holder insert. Each is approx 12cm x 6.5cm when closed and is suitable for holding a single example of most models in the Rolex range. For a number of years these green pouches were provided by the service division of Rolex UK when they returned a watch to its owner. Many owners now use them as smart travel or storage pouches. They are pre-owned, but many have simply been in our stores since they came with a watch from Rolex. The price quoted is for a single pouch and we anticipate having a small number available from which clients may choose. A couple of additional, illustrative images are provided if you click through the main picture. Available from Miltons in Chester and Liverpool (St. John’s).
£4,999 Stock number: 50-18-195A gold and diamond Rolex for this price ? Gent’s 18ct yellow gold and diamond Rolex Cellini mechanical (i.e. requiring daily manual winding) dress watch model 4630/8 on integral fine Milanese / ribbon-style bracelet with impressive diamond bezel and 1601 calibre Rolex movement. This watch is in exceptional condition, coming with original Cellini box-set (the cardboard outer carton is very tatty and with signs of some repair, but the main box is splendid), Cellini booklet, hand-written Rolex papers from David M. Robinson dated 20th May 1988 in original green plastic wallet and a valuation from DMR dated just days later. This slim, wind-up watch (not an Oyster model) was intended for dress wear and is not water-proof. We certainly wouldn’t recommend it for everyday wear. It now seems to epitomise the flamboyant style of the 1980s, but further value here lies also in its accessories and the exceptional condition. The bracelet length remains that for a large wrist. While it has three positions for minor adjustment within the double-leaf clasp, we will NOT otherwise adjust the size of the bracelet. This watch could be considered by a collector or someone with a suitably large wrist who might treasure and wear it for a few very special occasions every year. Please ask to speak about this watch with Phil or Paul in the Miltons Watch Team, as both are former managers of Rolex main agents….who well remember the 1980s ! Close-up images of the set and watch itself may be accessed by clicking through the main picture. 526073
£17,999 Stock number: 52-41-010Glittering diamond and gold Rolex Day-Date ! 36mm Rolex Day-Date in 18ct yellow gold, model 18338 on President 8385 bracelet. The model reference confirms that the diamond-set shoulders are original from the factory, by Rolex. The champagne / diamond dot dial is ALSO a genuine Rolex part, but has been fitted later. This colour dial would normally be matched with champagne-colour day & date display discs, though some find these white ones easier to read. This eye-catching watch is in very good condition with only moderate wear to the bracelet. It comes with Rolex Day-Date boxes, Day-Date booklet, UK papers from Mappin & Webb at T4 Heathrow dated May 1999 and a Rolex UK service card dated January 2015. This series of Day-Date with its 3155 calibre movements was the first to feature the double quick-set feature for easy, independent alteration of the Day and Date. A direct, NEW equivalent model with diamond lugs is no longer offered, but one even without the diamond shoulders is now £34,600 — and the last time we could find a model with diamond shoulders (December 2017) they added £3,800 to the new RRP ! We note that one of the features which betrayed pre-millennium Day-Dates was their brushed shoulders. It is a bonus with this watch that the original, diamond-set shoulders remove that visual indicator, so it appears closer to much later models.

Stock number: Dials for 3155 calibre Day-Date models.Miltons keep an extensive stock of Rolex parts worth over six-figures in its own right (often sourced from Rolex agents who lost their franchises, or needed to raise some money quickly back in the days when parts were supplied more freely). We usually keep these parts for our own, exclusive use but it is worth showing here the selection of dials we have at the time of writing which we would be prepared to fit into a white gold or platinum Day-Date.
