Rolex serial numbers

Rolex serial numbers, clasp and country codes

Determining the year of manufacture of a Rolex wristwatch is possible by looking at the engraving of the serial number, which is usually engraved at 6 o'clock between the lugs on the older models.

However, this has been changed somewhat on the newer models from the 2007 production date. Here, the serial number can be found in the so-called Rehaut engraving, which is engraved on the ring between the dial and the crystal.
