It comes as no surprise that Rolex is one of the world's most valuable companies, according to Business Week magazine a few years ago. The firm is not only growing year after year, but in recent years, some Rolex watches have reached historic prices at Auctions around the world.

It's a great time to be a watch collector, especially when it comes to Rolex watches, and almost impossible to predict what the future holds. But for now, we're going to show you some of the most expensive Rolex watches ever sold.

Some more expensive Rolex Watches

Rolex watch in "Live and Let Die" by James Bond (1973)

Cinema greatly influences the world of jewelry and watches and it is not surprising that the watches that have been featured in different James Bonds movies have become the object of desire for many and a guaranteed success at the most popular auctions. .

The famous Rolex watch used in the 1973 James Bond movie "Live and Let Die" has fetched over $450,000 at auction. It was built in 1972 and modified to meet the needs of a secret agent like Bond. The clock movement was removed to install a razor disk with a small pinhole and a magnetic field generator, which were used in iconic scenes from the film.

Rolex Antimagnetique 4113

The Rolex Antimagnetique 4113 watch has held the record for the most expensive Rolex ever sold at auction, not once, but twice. It was last auctioned for over $2 million and is believed to be one of only eight still in existence, the only Rolex chronograph that could set more records in the future.

With a diameter of 44mm, the largest watch Rolex has ever made, only 12 were produced, all in steel and never made available to the public. Instead, they were given as gifts to a handpicked selection of famous racing teams and their drivers. The brand's close ties to the glamorous world of motorsport date back to the 1930s, and several of these oversized pieces have been auctioned through the families of the original recipients.

Rolex Oyster Paul Newman Daytona

This Rolex watch was auctioned for more than 3.5 million dollars, double its initial asking price. A classic old timepiece, nicknamed 'The Legend',

Paul Newman received the watch from his wife, actress Joanne Woodward, in 1972. The case was engraved with the words "Drive Safely Me." Preserved in mint condition and at an incredible rarity value, it's easy to see why this legendary timepiece fetched that price at auction and surely, if auctioned now, would be worth much more

Rolex Daytona Unicorn Watch

This 18k white gold Rolex watch was first made in 1970, and uses the same Oyster case and metal bezel instead of one made of acrylic. It reached 5.9 million dollars in an Auction.

Vintage Rolex Daytona watches were traditionally made in stainless steel or 18k yellow gold; and although some 14k yellow gold examples were produced.

Before this watch was discovered, it was believed that Rolex only produced manually-wound Daytonas in stainless steel or 18-karat yellow gold. But a watch isn’t dubbed The Unicorn because it’s just like everything else. This specific Rolex is the only known white gold manual-winding Daytona ever produced! The watch was manufactured in 1970 and delivered to a German retailer a year later. Since it was unlike Rolex to stray from their typical yellow gold Daytonas, it is believed this specific retailer had lots of influence on the Swiss-watch brand and requested a special order. It wasn’t uncommon for Rolex to manufacture watches in white gold, but they were Day-Dates, not Daytonas.

The metal isn’t the only special feature about this watch. Another significant identifying characteristic is the black Sigma dial with white gold indexes. The lower-case Greek letters surrounding the word “Swiss” on the lower portion of the dial are used as proof that the watch is made of solid gold. There are also 18k hallmarks on the lugs of the watch. The case is original and is in excellent condition. The hands of The Unicorn Rolex are also gold, as is the Rolex-made bracelet. But the bracelet is not original. The white gold bracelet with a bark finish was added by the current owner to replace a leather strap. The bracelet comes from an Oyster Date reference 1507, and increases The Unicorn’s aesthetic appeal.
