When did UK last have a price rise?

Hi
I've looked at the sticky at the top of the page but am still confused lol.
Did the UK have a price rise in rrp in 2021?

Thanks

Think the last UK price wise was January 2020

Makes no difference to me, I can't get hold of any watch I want anyway....

Thanks, that's what google was leading me to believe but came across some conflicting info.

Do Rolex tend to increase price every two years or is it completely random?

Thanks

The UK price in January 2020 was the second in less than 12 months. Unusual but don't discount it. If there is a price rise coming up first thing in 2022 it's usual to have heard about it by now. But no advance announcement doesn't mean anything - we're talking Rolex here.

Thanks, I didn't realise the price rise in Jan 2020 was the second in a 12 month period.
With the general rise in prices of just about everything including gold there must be a significant chance of a rrp hike in 2022?

It was the announcement of the second UK price rise in 12 months that prompted me to jump on a stickered black SS Sky Dweller from a reputable grey seller. It's bonkers now - and it was bad enough back then.

Apart from Rolex, very few people know what or when the next MSRP hike will be, but a Jan rise would usually have been reported by now. If we get into December with no solid information it becomes safer to assume that there is no imminent 2022 hike, but it's only a matter of time.

I may have got this back to front - IIRC the first UK price rise in 2019 was a sterling adjustment because the pound tanked. The second in Jan 2020 was multi regional.

I’m sure there will be a price rise soon 2 years is a long time without one and in most industries now costs are rising fast
