Do Rolex watches have Roman numerals?

1 Answer
Yes, many Rolex watches have Roman numerals. One interesting feature of Rolex's Roman numeral hour markers is that the 4 o'clock marker is represented by IIII rather than IV. Although this detail is not unique to Rolex, the Swiss luxury watchmaker helped start the modern convention of using this variation on the traditional Roman numeral system in order to make dials appear more symmetrical.
