It also expresses freshness and symbolizes rebirth or eternity. It is indeed also, of course, the color of money!” The new color palette reflects a modern approach while subtly nodding to the brand’s rich heritage.
The previous packaging, featuring a variety of shapes and sizes – from small and rectangular to pyramidal and asymmetrical – in leather, imitation leather, and wood with felt interiors (frequently enough cream or green), has become a collectible item in its own right. The sheer number of past Rolex box designs is impressive, highlighting the brand’s long and storied history.
This change marks a significant moment for Rolex, signaling a fresh chapter for the brand while maintaining its commitment to quality and prestige. The new green packaging is expected to be rolled out globally in 2025, adding another layer of intrigue and desirability to the already coveted timepieces.
