Rolex Baselworld 2018 – What’s New

The wait is now over for 2018 and Rolex have certainly delivered on some exciting pieces. Earlier in the month Rolex had released a teaser video of a Jubilee bracelet which appeared to have a Sports Clasp attached. With this new clue, the rumour mill went in to overdrive however the general consensus remained the same, that in some way we are due to see a new model GMT of some sort. This was the only teaser that Rolex offered for 2018 however it was not the only new release that was announced, other models and variants have followed but it will be with the GMT that our primary focus will be on.

The Rolex Cosmograph Daytona is a quintessential example of sheer perfect craftmanship and micro engineering. From the perfectly crafted case in 18k Everose Gold, to the Calibre 4130 movement at the heart of this wonderful timepiece. 

 Since its release at Baselworld in 2008, the Rolex Daytona 116505 has become one of the most popular Rolex timepieces of them all. Having been sported by celebrities and business men and women around the world for over a decade, this watch has become a true classic of its time. 

 The current Recommended Retail Price of the Rolex Cosmograph Daytona 116505 is £31,550.

The Rolex Submariner is a quintessential example of sheer perfect craftmanship and micro engineering. From the perfectly crafted case in 904L Steel, to the Calibre 3135 movement at the heart of this wonderful timepiece. 

Since its release at Baselworld in 2010, the Rolex Submariner Date 116610LN has become one of the most popular modern Rolex timepieces of them all. Having been sported by celebrities and businessmen and women around the world for over a decade, this watch has become a true classic of its time. 

Featuring a slick looking black Cerachrom bezel and black dial with large luminescent markers makes for a timeless look which is both sporty and elegant at the same time, all whilst mated to a satin, three-piece oyster bracelet which finishes the look perfectly.

The previous generation, Calibre 3135 remains the beating heart for this model despite the introduction of the new and improved Calibre 3235 movement which boasts a 72-hour power reserve. Will we see the discontinuation of the ceramic Submariner Date as we know it in the near future? We would love to hear your opinion.

The current Recommended Retail Price of the Rolex Submariner Date 116610LN is £7,150.
