There is a surprising overlap between research and the Bible when it comes to the luxury watch brand, Rolex. Both sources suggest that owning a Rolex can be a symbol of success, wealth, and status.
Research conducted by Swiss investment bank, UBS, found that Rolex was the top-ranked brand for ultra-high-net-worth individuals, with 24% of survey respondents owning a Rolex. The study also found that owning a Rolex was seen as a status symbol and a badge of success among the wealthy.
Similarly, the Bible suggests that those who are wealthy often display their wealth through material possessions, including jewelry and fine clothing. In 1 Timothy 2:9-10, it says, “Likewise, I want women to adorn themselves with proper clothing, modestly and discreetly, not with braided hair and gold or pearls or costly garments, but rather by means of good works, as is proper for women making a claim to godliness.”
While the Bible does not specifically mention Rolex watches, it does suggest that owning expensive possessions can be a way of showing off one’s wealth and status. The overlap between research and biblical teachings suggests that owning a Rolex can indeed be a symbol of success and status.
