How Much Really Goes?
So what percentage of our Rolex purchases goes to charity?

impossible to say as Rolex being a privately owned company and having some sort of charity status means they do not need to produce there monetary accounts or any other results for public viewing

In a manner of speaking none, they make money and then they give some of it away.
Rolex is a privately held company that supports many causes and I'd say unless the CFO of Rolex posts here all guesses will be precisely that. Since virtually every major corporation gets hit up for massive contributions, this is like asking how much does my Bimmer or Mustang purchase goes to charity. |

I am not sure tha anyone knows how much. Rolex's accounts are a very closely guarded secret. I can't imagine that 100% of their profits go to charity.

Can anyone give any examples of charity work that Rolex undertakes?
