Model availability

All Rolex watches are assembled by hand with the utmost care to ensure exceptional quality. Such high standards naturally restrict Rolex production capacity.

Demand can also limit the availability of certain models. New Rolex watches are exclusively sold by Official Rolex Retailers, who receive regular deliveries and independently manage the allocation and sales of watches to customers.

Goldschmiede Hofacker is proud to be part of the worldwide network of Official Rolex Retailers. We can provide information on the availability of the various models.
