Hi Nick,
Welcome to TRF!!
Holograms were stuck on the back of new watches until around 2 years ago, but now discontinued.
You must be referring to the laser etching Rolex coronet on the sapphire crystal at the '6' position - not easy to spot with the naked eye - you would need a 10x loupe and have to hold the watch under a powerful reading lamp.
Here's a picture of what a Hologram used to look like on a brand new Rolex....
And here's a picture of what the laser etching should look like.....
