“From the €15,350 Land-Dweller to the €456,700 Sky-Dweller, Rolex’s 2025 lineup perfectly caters to demands across all price ranges,” remarked a market analyst from the Swiss Watchmaking Association.

Of the new models, 73% utilize new materials, and all movements achieve the Superlative Chronometer Standard (-2/+2 seconds per day), showcasing Rolex’s exquisite balance between innovation and tradition. Notably, the Land-Dweller series fuses the case design with:

• The 1969 quartz watch’s design genes
• The 1974 Datejust’s lug design
• The modern aesthetic of the AP Royal Oak

This half-century design dialogue is a testament to Rolex’s enduring legacy. In 2025 Geneva, this crown brand once again declares its strength: it remains an unshakable leader in the halls of watchmaking artistry.
