Modern Rolex Pocket Watch

Anyone here know if they make one? If they do, where can I get one? I would like to add one to my collection. Only one problem, every AD I go to doesn't seem to stock any modern Rolex pocket watches. They all have plenty of the old Hamilton 992B rail road grade watches or the Rolex vintage pocket watches, but what I would like is a new, modern Rolex pocket watch for my collection.

Yes they do.

Ask them to show you the Master Catalog.

The Rolex Cellini collection has a few pocket watches available. They have significantly reduced how many models they offer over the past few years.

Can you show us a pix of the coin watch? As you can imagine, I'd like to see that!

Not sure actually, I haven't looked in the Cellini section of the new master catalogue yet. Maybe someone else can chime in?

Thanks for the responses, I appreciate it. So, what I am hearing is, they do make a modern pocket watch and they are available if I ask at the AD, correct?

Cool...I always wondered if Rolex made pocket watches yet. I have an old one (probably from the 1920's or 30's) that someone gave me as a kid, always wondered if it was real ("Rolex" marked on face and movement).
I'm sure an AD could make an inquiry with Rolex and determine if available.
Good Luck!

Yeah, I'll take the used one for $3-$4k and let someone else take the big hit on those!

I believe pocket watches were from a time when men wore 3 piece suits and the pocket watches were kept in the vest pocket.
