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.

During this timeframe Rolex like other many other watch manufacturers were typically only supplying movements to other jewelry firms for women’s watches and never put into mass production the present concept in platinum with jubilee style bracelet especially. Also interesting to note. Rolex in fact did not entirely mass produce womens watches with their bracelets and cases made in house until 1957 making this a true trophy piece to collect as it is an example of one of the most iconic bracelet styles concepts entirely produced by Rolex. THE DESIGN CONCEPT EXPLAINED: The Rolex Jubilee Bracelet – Rolex’s 1st IN HOUSE BRACELET DESIGN introduced in 1945 The Present 1st series example represents one of the most premier examples produced by Rolex bracelet case design innovation at the time and movement engineering as a perpetual precision instrument of the period. For many collectors, it may not be commonly known that Rolex’s first bracelets were in fact neither made by Rolex nor offered as a standard option in their Rolex catalogs. In the early 1930s, bracelets were considered a costly add-on, representing sometimes almost half the price of the standalone watch itself. The original Rolex bracelets...Category
