The most expensive Rolex watches

We are not surprised that Rolex is one of the world's most valuable companies according to Business Week magazine a few years ago. Not only does the firm grow 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 it's almost impossible to predict what the future holds. But for now, we show you some of the most expensive Rolex watches ever sold.

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

Cinema has a great influence on the world of jewelry and watchmaking and it is not surprising that the watches that have been worn in various James Bonds films have become an object of desire for many and a guaranteed success in the most popular auctions.

The famous Rolex watch that was used in the 1973 James Bond movie "Live and Let Die" topped $ 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. Last time it was auctioned for more than $ 2 million and is believed to be one of eight that still exist, the only Rolex chronograph that could set more records in the future.

Estimating 44mm in diameter, the biggest watch Rolex has ever made, just 12 were manufactured, all made of steel and never made accessible to the general public. Instead, they were given as gifts to a carefully selected 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, double its initial starting price. An old classic watch, 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 pristine condition and with an incredible rarity value, it's easy to see why this legendary watch got that price at auction and would surely be worth a lot more if it were auctioned right now.
