🍎 WHAT’S YOUR DEFINITION OF BOX & PAPERS?

If you look for Rolexes on the secondary market at all, you have likely seen advertisements for Rolexes that come with “Box and Papers”. What does that mean? The truth is the term means different things to different people. In fact, many use the term box and papers, which may just mean the original box and warranty certificate but may mean a complete set. This can cause confusion.

The one thing that cannot be replaced is a Rolex guarantee/warranty document (or card for more recent watches.) Thus, every full set, regardless of who calls it that, includes a guarantee card. It’s the only part of a set that can’t be easily replaced.

Here is a list of other items:

• Box (inner and outer box)
• Original certificate
• Warranty cardholder
• COSC hangtag (Chronometer hangtag)
• Instruction’s manual
• Guarantee manual
• Anchor, if applicable
• Original sales receipt
• Original white paper sleeve
• White hangtag
• Caseback sticker
• Bezel protector
• Other provenance (a term relating to authenticity and proof of it)
• Service records
