Do real Rolex watches have batteries?

1 Answer
Do real Rolex watches have batteries?
The only battery-powered Rolex watch is the Rolex Oysterquartz model, which is no longer in production, although you can still find these watches in the second-hand market. All other Rolex watches are powered by the brand’s patented Perpetual rotor. Shop a collection of authentic Rolex watches, including the rare Oysterquartz, from reputable boutiques on 1stDibs.
