The Most Expensive Rolex Watch Ever Sold

Curious as to which Rolex watch has sold for the most cash in history? According to the Business Insider, the Rolex 1942 Chronograph takes the cake as the most expensive Rolex sold . Selling for a reported $1.16 million as part of a Christie's auction in Geneva in May of 2011, the 1942 Rolex Chronograph is one of 12 developed and only one of eight in existence.
Originally designed for famous racecar drivers in Italy, the Rolex 4113 allows for its wearer to split seconds and keep precise time while zooming around the track. The watch's durable stainless steel case was exceptionally made and it continues to tick with perfection 70 years after its inception.

It is believed that the 12 Rolex Chronograph 4113 watches were given as gifts to the likes of Stefano La Motta, Barone di Salinella, and other famed racers who sat behind the wheel of exotic cars such as the Ferrari 166S Spyder. Racers depended on the split second time markers found on the watch's classic dial to track their lap times with perfection.
Racecar drivers around the world continue to be impressed by Rolex's race-specific watches such as the pre-owned Daytona 116528, Rolex Daytona 16518, Rolex Daytona 11653, and several others. Beyond the racetrack, the Daytona Rolex is a favorite of professional athletes, innovators, and entrepreneurs around the world.
