List of all discontinued 6-digit models
 
I think Rolex has been coming out with new models at a pretty impressive rate in recent years, and they've also been quietly discontinuing quite a few. With that in mind, I attempted to compile a list of every discontinued 6-digit Rolex up to this point. Please feel free to let me know if I've forgotten any! :cheers:

Milgauss white or black dials can't have sold that well and was only available for a few years , Id guess that they might be rare in the future

They discontinued the platinum dial to save costs bc it is real platinum.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...96fab44718.jpg

I see the 16622 w/ rehaut Rolex dial and flip-lock clasp being more rare in the future. My wife loves her watch so much she never takes it off.

What about the 116000 harley orange and black oyster perpetual?
When was it made? Approximately how many, and when discontinued?

Well done on the YM. Yours is 40mm and your wife's is 36/37 right?
I purchased mine 36/37 in 2003. Love it very much and I am not wearing it everyday. It has the classic prestige feels with humble character being 'single tone' colour....

Well done on keeping yours!! Attachment 964132

powerfunk 20 July 2018 12:14 PM

Some fancy 36mm Day-Dates discontinued too: 118296, 118366, 118398, 118366, 118338, 118339

kanderson1965 1 August 2018 12:46 AM

The Oyster Perpetual Date with engine turned bezel Ref 115210 is discontinued

fishingbear 6 August 2018 04:43 AM
