One current hub, permanent dated reports

The Market Index and the weekly report serve different jobs. The index is the single current authority page for Rolex pricing searches. Each dated report is a permanent historical record and does not overwrite an earlier week.

Three separate signals

Price, buyer demand and inventory are not the same thing

Observed Asking-Price Index A manually reviewed median of comparable public listings from multiple independent secondary-market sources. It is not a guaranteed transaction price.
SWC Buyer Demand Pulse Deduplicated qualified buyer requests received by the Buying Desk, compared with the preceding equivalent period and withheld numerically when the sample is too small.
Current SWC Inventory Actual watches currently offered or available to source. Store asking prices are commercial information and are not used as the sole basis for the broader index.
Why divergence matters: a Rolex collection can show softer observed asking prices while qualified buyer demand rises. That can identify negotiation opportunity without pretending price and demand are interchangeable.
Research standards

Built for repeatability, not for a dramatic weekly headline

The first active series uses Rolex Market Index Methodology v1.0. It requires exact-reference comparison, a fixed basket, visible condition assumptions, multi-source observations, minimum samples for numerical publication and transparent corrections.

Comparable observations

Exact reference and configuration

Dial, bracelet, material, condition, card date and scope of delivery must be comparable. Unlike watches are not averaged together merely because they share a collection name.

Minimum evidence

No numerical value from a thin sample

A reference value is not published until at least three comparable observations pass review. Missing data remains visibly unavailable rather than being guessed.

Historical integrity

Dated reports stay dated

Past reports are not silently rewritten to match the current market. Material corrections and methodology changes are dated and disclosed.

Use the research

Move from market context to an exact watch

Commercial pathways are intentionally separated from the research tables. Use them after comparing the exact reference, condition, completeness and current market context.
