Rolex
While the rise in popularity of vintage Rolex watches is of no surprise to aficionados, collectors and industry experts, when it comes to contemporary luxury wristwatches, Rolex is also often the first brand that springs to mind. Not only is the company revered for its precision timekeeping and impeccable craftsmanship, but its name was designed to be memorable.
Rolex's enviable worldwide recognition can be credited in part to the genius of company founder Hans Wilsdorf. When the German-born watch dealer and his brother-in-law, Alfred Davis, set up their London enterprise, in 1905, they called it Wilsdorf & Davis, according to the traditional formula.
But Wilsdorf was determined to come up with another name that was short, would look good on a watch dial and was easy to say and remember in several languages. In 1908, he trademarked the name Rolex, and by 1920, he had moved the company to Geneva and redubbed it as Montres Rolex S.A.
But the main reasons for the brand’s success are its aforementioned commitment to precision and unflagging pursuit of innovation. In 1926, the company introduced the aptly named Oyster model. With a screw-down crown and case back, both fitted with rubber gaskets, this was the first truly waterproof watch.
Five years later, Rolex upped the ante with the Oyster Perpetual. That model’s patented Perpetual movement contained a rotor mechanism enabling it to self-wind. In another trendsetting move, in 1945, the brand debuted the Datejust, with a date window prominently displayed on the dial.
The company’s two most iconic models are sports watches. Although the Submariner, which debuted in 1953, was developed as a dive watch, its waterproof case, solid construction and good looks made it a favorite of adventurers and urbanites alike, including James Bond, who wore it in classics like Dr. No and Goldfinger. The Daytona, the racing chronograph made famous by Paul Newman, is especially sought after by collectors. Newman’s personal Daytona, which hit the auction block in 2017, sold for $17.8 million.

- Rolex Datejust Wristwatch Ref 16220, Roman Numeral Dial. Unusual Provenance.By RolexLocated in Canterbury, GBOur vintage Rolex Datejust reference 16220 features a classic combination of stainless steel 36mm case, with stainless steel engine turned bezel, stainless steel Jubilee bracelet and desirable white Roman Numeral service dial. Presented in outstanding condition, this Datejust shows only light signs of use from new and the bracelet is without notable stretch. This example comes with wallet, calendar and papers dated June 1989, and bears a R ***** serial, dating production to 1987. Very notably, this particular Datejust's punched papers show that it was retailed by Lugli & Zini in Mogadiscio (Mogadishu, Somalia), as above on 22nd June 1989 to a Mr John, with country code 672, the reference, serial and bracelet typed, along with dealer stamp and signature. The dealer was the period authorised retailer for Rolex and had been in Tripoli and Mogadishu, dating from Italian colonial times.
