FAQs
How to identify a Rolex before 2002?
To identify a Rolex made before 2002, check the serial number prefix (N, X, U, A, P, etc.), which corresponds to earlier production years. Many models also used tritium lume (marked “Swiss – T<25”) on the dial, which Rolex phased out in 2000. Bracelet clasp codes can also confirm the exact year.
