At Beverly Loan Company, we’ve specialized in Rolex loans since 1938, offering Beverly Hills residents same-day funding without the need to permanently part with their prized timepieces. Whether you own a classic Submariner, a prestigious Day-Date, or a coveted Daytona, we provide confidential, professional service that gets you cash today while preserving your ownership for tomorrow.
Why Choose a Rolex Loan?
Choosing a loan against your Rolex rather than selling offers compelling advantages. The Rolex market has demonstrated consistent appreciation, with certain models doubling or even tripling in value. By obtaining a loan, you maintain exposure to this appreciation while accessing the capital you need immediately.
- Cost-Effective: Selling your Rolex through dealers or auction houses can involve commissions and fees of 10-30%. These costs often exceed the total interest on a short-term loan.
- Preserve Sentimental Value: A Rolex often commemorates a milestone or is a family heirloom. Our luxury watch loan options preserve these irreplaceable connections.
- Speed and Privacy: Unlike bank loans, our process requires no credit checks, no income verification, and no lengthy applications. Your transaction remains completely confidential.
- Flexibility: Business owners use our loans for bridge financing, and investors leverage them to seize time-sensitive opportunities without liquidating portfolios.

Our expertise spans the entire Rolex portfolio, from vintage rarities to current production models. Our specialists understand the nuances that differentiate a standard piece from a highly sought-after variant.

Key Valuation Factors
Determining your Rolex’s loan value requires a sophisticated understanding of several interrelated factors.
- Model and Reference: The foundation of the valuation, as specific references command different values.
- Condition: We evaluate case thickness, bracelet stretch, and dial condition. Original, unrestored dials command premiums.
- Documentation: Complete sets with boxes, papers, and warranty cards qualify for maximum loan amounts, often increasing value by 10-20%.
- Market Dynamics: Our team monitors real-time market data to ensure your valuation reflects current conditions.
- Special Characteristics: Rare “tropical” or “spider” dials, unusual bezels, or limited production runs can dramatically increase loan values.
