Rolex Reference 4113 Sets $4.717 Million Record at Dubai Auction

The record highlights Dubai’s growing pull for top-tier watch auctions.

Overview

  • FutureGrail sold the Reference 4113 in Dubai following a packed preview at the Bvlgari Yacht Club.
  • The price set a new benchmark for the model, beating the previous auction high by more than $1.2 million.
  • Only 12 examples were produced in the 1940s, with nine known to survive today.
  • The 4113 is Rolex’s only vintage split-seconds chronograph, a technically prized design with motor racing provenance.
  • Singapore-based FutureGrail plans to open UAE operations in 2026 to serve rising regional demand, and Khaleej Times ranked the watch ninth among the most expensive Rolexes.
