The “Rolex Tiffany” name causes big confusion because it refers to two different watches. The first ones are rare vintage models with a signed dial, and the second ones are the modern Oyster Perpetual turquoise blue. One is history, and the other is hype. You must know the specs and real value before spending big money on the secondary market. Browse our collection of Rolex Tiffany watches and learn everything about these models.
Tiffany
When we talk about the Rolex Tiffany watch, we are mostly looking at the Oyster Perpetual line for the modern version, and various models like the Rolex Submariner or Datejust for the classic version. The modern watches are famous for their “stella” inspired dials, while the vintage models are popular for their retail partnership.
The name “Rolex Tiffany” is an unofficial nickname for the modern watches. Rolex updated the Oyster Perpetual watches with bright colors in 2020. However, the official name for the color is turquoise blue. There is no “Tiffany & Co.” stamp on these dials. So, this hype actually started because the color looks exactly like Tiffany’s robin’s egg blue. The demand for this Rolex model increased after Patek Philippe released a limited Nautilus with Tiffany.
The story is different for the vintage models. Tiffany & Co. was an authorized retailer for Rolex from the late 1950s until the early 1990s. It had permission to print the logo on the dial, and the Tiffany store in New York would do this first by hand. Later, the staff would do this at the Rolex factory. Collectors used to call it a “double-signed” watch. The partnership between Rolex and Tiffany ended in the 1990s, making these watches very rare today.
The technical specifications are very strong, particularly if we look at the modern Rolex Oyster Perpetual. Examples include references like 124300 and 126000. These models/variants of the Rolex Tiffany watch carry the turquoise dial. The company has built these watches for daily wear.
The Rolex Tiffany family is diverse and influenced by eras and sizes. The modern Oyster Perpetual reference 124300 is the 41mm size. Rolex discontinued this watch in 2022, but still, it is still the most expensive modern version.
The reference 126000 is the 36mm size, and it is still in production, but very hard to buy. Likewise, the reference 277200 is the 31mm size and uses the smaller Calibre 2232 with a Syloxi hairspring. All modern Tiffany Perpetual watches come on the Oyster bracelet with flat three-piece links and an Easylink extension for comfort.
When it comes to the vintage variants, you can find models with the Tiffany stamp on the Submariner, GMT-Master, Daytona, and Datejust. These watches have Jubilee bracelets or the older style Oyster bracelet, depending on the year.
The price difference for a Rolex Tiffany is very extreme. You can’t simply walk into a shop and buy a watch easily. On the other hand, the secondary market usually dictates the price. Keep in mind that the hype for the blue color has created a massive premium.
The market value depends on the model’s status. The biggest driver of price is the discontinuation of the 41mm turquoise dial in 2022. The price increased because Rolex stopped making this variant. A watch that is “New Old Stock” or unworn will cost 20% to 30% more than a used one.
Collectors pay much more for a full set, including box and papers. Having the original Tiffany & Co. paper is essential for vintage models, and without it, the value will drop because proving the stamp is real is very difficult. The secondary market price for reference 124300 is between AED 95,000 and AED 100,000+, but keep in mind that Rolex has discontinued this reference.
On the other hand, the grey market prices for reference 126000 are between AED 58,000 and AED 64,300. However, if you want to buy Oyster Perpetual 31mm reference 27200 from the secondary market dealer, expect to pay between AED 38,000 and AED 40,000.
| Model | Reference | Approx. Retail Price in AED |
| Oyster Perpetual 41mm | 124300 | 25,650 (Discontinued) |
| Oyster Perpetual 36mm | 126000 | 21,000 |
| Oyster Perpetual 31mm | 277200 | 23,050 |
The retail prices for Rolex watches will increase by 7% in 2026. Data shows that steel models like Air King will increase by 5.6%, but gold watches will see a bigger jump, which will be up to 8.7%. Buying a Rolex watch is surely better now, especially after two hikes of inflation and Trump’s tariffs in 2025. Remember, these retail changes will slowly make secondary market prices higher too.
Rolex Tiffany is a good investment, but mostly for the 41mm reference 124300. It is a blue chip watch asset now. The supply is fixed because production was short between 2020 and 2022. Demand is still high because people love the color and the association with the Patek Tiffany. The investment value for vintage watches relies on the Tiffany signature. A genuine double-signed dial is a watch of history, and if you have papers to prove that Tiffany sold it, the value is very safe, and you can generate good profit.
Many people try to fake the Rolex Tiffany watches because the price is so high. You can authenticate the vintage Tiffany by consulting a professional at Watch Maestro. The reason is that you can’t ask Rolex to verify a vintage Tiffany dial, and the company does not have records of which watches got stamped at the boutique. So, you must rely on our expert inspection. We usually look at the font ink, the alignment, and the aging of the print. The best proof is the original receipt from Tiffany & Co.
When it comes to modern Tiffany authentication, it is easier for the turquoise OP. You can check the serial number and the card. However, some people swap dials. Therefore, a watchmaker must check if the dial is original to that specific reference. Here at Watch Maestro, we can get the job done efficiently.
Moreover, Rolex does not provide a warranty for the Tiffany stamp on classic watches. In fact, Rolex said in the 1990s that it would not fix watches if the dial was modified. Today, if you send a vintage Tiffany watch to a Rolex Service Center, the staff might require you to change the dial to a standard one, which destroys the value. Therefore, we recommend using an independent watchmaker or specialist.
Testimonials
The main difference is the size and availability. Rolex discontinued the 41mm watch (reference 124300) in 2022, and it is very expensive on the secondary market. However, the company still produces the 36mm watches (reference 126000). Both have the same Calibre 3230 movement.
No. The modern turquoise dial is 100% made by Rolex, and there is no contract with Tiffany & Co. So, it is just a nickname given by collectors. The vintage watches launched between 1950 and 1990 were an official retail partnership.
It is expensive because of scarcity. The 41mm was only made for a short time, and the color is also very popular because of the Patek Philippe 5711 Tiffany edition. Dealers know people want this color, so they charge a high market premium.
No, you can’t buy the vintage watches. However, it is technically possible to buy the modern turquoise 36mm and 31mm, but this is very hard. Authorized dealers have long waitlists, so you usually need a strong purchase history to get allocated one.
