ROLEX WATCHES : Model Reference List

The model number of your Rolex watch can be found engraved on its case between the lugs at the 12 o’clock position. Initially, Model Reference Numbers were 4-digit strings. It became a 5-digit string during the 1980s up to the year 2000, after which, the number “1″ was added at the beginning of the string and in some models, a letter replaced the last digit, making the newer Model Reference Numbers 6-digit strings.

Some of the more popular Model Reference Numbers on several Rolex models are listed below:
