Rolex Wrist Watches
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.

V Rare Rolex Prince Art-Deco c1939 Observatory Grade Rose Gold “Doctors” Watch
By Rolex
Located in MELBOURNE, AU
This extremely rare in such a fine condition,
Art-Deco Rolex PRINCE wristwatch is dating back to circa 1939
Old magazine ads described this timepiece as
“a watch for men of distinction” and also “limited to a small number –
such fine watches cannot be produced quickly or in large quantities”,
while the Tatler’s 7th October 1931 edition called it
“a super-grade wristwatch of outstanding merit & distinction”,
which perfect accuracy is "verified by Swiss Government Scientists"
~~
Its distinguished Rectangle Case is hinged & performed in 9K Rose Gold,
it’s comfortable & well-proportioned, measuring 20mm x 41mm,
it’s “wrist-hugging” & “Curvex” - curved to fit the wrist
Caseback tells us a lot about the fascinating history of original ownership,
as it’s engraved with:
“Presented to Bro. J. H. Till in appreciation of services as Secretary –
1929 – 1939 by Cobden Lodge # 381” –
(Cobden Lodge used to be a Masonic lodge in Melbourne, Australia)
Caseback is hallmarked with an iconic Rolex crown,
It’s stamped, signed & bearing a number on inside.
Bronze & champagne coloured Dial is in beautiful original condition,
featuring clear black hand-painted Arabic numerals,
original hands & relatively large sub-dial for centre seconds
(ideal instrument used by doctors to measure patients’ pulse,
hence the timepiece is referred as “doctor’s watch...
