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.

Rolex Steel Daytona Tiffany & Co Chronograph Black Big Red Dial 6265 Watch, 1974
By Rolex
Located in Central & Western District, HK
When talking about Tiffany & Co., I am sure anyone has heard of the legendary jewelry brand, but did you know they have been collaborated with Rolex since the 1950’s? Allowing the latter to sell Rolex watches that co-branded with a “Tiffany & Co.” stamp on the dial when the watch was sold in their boutiques for decades. For vintage Rolex collectors, Tiffany & Co. dials represent a past era in the company’s history. The fact that Rolex Tiffany & Co. dials are no longer produced in the early 1990s as Rolex terminated the co-branding agreement, which makes them extremely limited and most beloved collectible watches among collectors. Case: 37mm without crown; Show sign of wear with slight polish from previous; inner case back stamped 6265 Dial: Excellent Condition Double Named “Tiffany & Co” Black Dial Big Red where the lumes are still round and intact have turned into creamy color along with later tritium hands Bracelet: Rolex 78350 Oyster Bracelet...

    A Rolex watch that is worn daily does not need winding. The Perpetual rotor uses the movement of your body to power the watch and it can hold this power for up to 70 hours. If you take off your watch for an extended period of time, more than the 70 hours, then it will need winding. Manual winding can be done by unscrewing the crown to the winding position and turning it clockwise about 20 times. Remember to screw the crown back tightly to reestablish its waterproof qualities.
