Rolex waiting lists 200-times longer than Patek Philippe’s and even royals can’t jump the queue

Waiting lists for Rolex watches are capped at 4,000 people for some models, according to one of the world’s largest authorized dealers, Ahmed Seddiqi & Sons in the United Arab Emirates, but at the same time, they have only 20-30 people on lists for Patek Philippe’s far rarer timepieces.
