Sell ​​your watch: which models are popular?

Today, several models are very popular. Below, Amstel Watches has written an overview for you.

• The Patek Philippe Nautilus is the brand's most popular. The first version was released in 1976, with the factory building a total of only 60,000 timepieces a year for the global market. Currently, there are long waiting lists to purchase a Nautilus, with many people having to wait more than five years to get their hands on this model. The type can be purchased in several variants. For example, it is possible to select a steel or gold variant, and a strap of different materials can be chosen.
• Along with the Nautilus, the Patek Philippe Aquanaut is a very popular model of the brand. First produced in 1997, this type is very hard to come by today. The Aquanaut also has a waiting list of up to five years. As with the Nautilus, various materials and straps can be chosen for the Aquanaut.
• The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak is a model introduced in 1972. It is an octagonal model once designed by Mr. Gerald Genta, and was immediately very popular after its first production. The model is available in several variations, namely in both steel and gold. In addition, different straps are available in both steel, gold, leather and rubber.
• The Rolex Submariner Date (126610LN) is very popular in today's market. It is a type that has been around for decades and is often purchased by enthusiasts. A version of the Submariner that has become especially popular in recent years is the 116610LV (Also called the Rolex Submariner 'HULK'). All in all, this type is a true icon of the brand and, according to many experts, will certainly remain so in the coming years.
• The Rolex GMT-Master II is also as iconic as the Submariner, with models such as the 'Batman' and 'Pepsi'. These timepieces from Rolex have seen their popularity soar and therefore often command a high price on the market today. Both the 'Batman' (blue with black bezel) and the 'Pepsi' (red with blue bezel) versions of the Rolex GMT-Master II are available in Oyster and Jubilee versions. In addition to the color variants of the GMT-Master II, the model with the black bezel is also very popular (reference number 116710LN).
• Next, a very popular and rare type within the Rolex series is the so-called Cosmograph Daytona. It is a watch that has its origins within motor racing and is available in steel, gold/steel and all precious metal. As a Rolex model, the Daytona is one of the most popular and beloved models. Especially the Paul Newman version (vintage) is currently one of the most expensive timepieces in the world.
• The Rolex Day-Date is a type that has long been also called "The President's Watch" because American presidents have worn this Rolex during their time in office. It is a model made entirely of precious metal, and is considered the ultimate status type within the Rolex model range. The model differs from other models in that the movement features both a date and fully written-out day display.
• After the above model comes, of course, the Rolex Explorer, a true classic within the brand's model series. It is a type made to simply survive. This type is used all over the world by adventurers in such activities as mountain climbing, cave exploring and more. This makes it a real icon like Rolex and beloved among collectors.
• Then a more extreme variant was built for diving, namely the Rolex Sea-Dweller. It is possible to dive to a depth of 1,200 meters with this type, which is an incredible achievement by Rolex. The timepiece has been developed since 1967 and is still available today within the model range. Especially the so-called 'Great White' edition with a red text on the dial is very popular among collectors.
• The Rolex Air-King is a lesser known model of the brand, but has been released since 1957. A new version was released in 2016, which has a 40mm case. The movement within the type is the so-called 3131 movement. Especially the older pre-2000 Air-King models are popular among collectors, although the post-2000 watch is also a great piece.
