The Rolex Guide by Mads Urup Gjødesen | Watch Collector Book
The collector's playbook for buying, owning, and investing in Rolex sports watches.
The Rolex Guide by Mads Urup Gjødesen is a deep, detail-driven reference for anyone serious about Rolex sports models. Gjødesen has spent more than twenty years collecting, investing in, and dealing pre-owned Rolex watches, and his earlier Danish-language book on Rolex investing was a hit with collectors. This English hardcover from New Mags puts that hard-won knowledge into one substantial volume.
The focus is on steel sports models made between 1960 and 2024. Rather than a history or a style book, it is a practical tool: how the market works, what drives value, how to buy safely, and the risks of the pre-owned world. Detailed chapters on dial variations, cases, and bracelets, supported by tables and close-up photography, help you recognize desirable references and avoid expensive mistakes. The embossed green cover gives it a quiet, collector's library look.
