Is a 20 year old Rolex considered vintage?

1 Answer
Is a 20 year old Rolex considered vintage?
Yes, a 20-year-old Rolex would be considered vintage by most people. Generally, timepieces that are at least 20 years old are thought of as vintage. And as collecting vintage watches gains steam as a hobby, other venerable brands including Patek Philippe, Breitling and Omega have been mining their archives of late, reissuing mid-century models and resurrecting design elements with retro appeal.
