## Description

The history, icons, and the record-breaking models of the Geneva-based Rolex watch company A lavishly illustrated book for the lovers of watches, elegance and precision The history of Rolex is inextricably linked to its founder Hans Wilsdorf, who took the first steps in the world of Swiss watchmaking as he dreamed about a timepiece that could be worn around the wrist. This experimental research led Rolex to achieve its highest goals in both technological innovation and in the use of the finest materials alone. Its models have been photographed on the wrists of political leaders, sports champions, and film and fashion celebrities, transforming each Rolex into a fully-fledged status symbol, a synonym of elegance and precision. Including essays with a historical and technical slant, in-depth descriptions of the most representative pieces and a brief glossary, the pages in this book sparkle with golden hands, diamond-studded dials and patent-leather watchbands, illustrated in period photographs and macro-detail. The volume ends with a chapter dedicated to the most amazing auctions that saw the sale of the Geneva-based company's vintage watches.

Review: A good book for Rolex lovers - I love mechanical watches and Rolex's are one of my favourites, this book is great, not as comprehensive as I'd thought but for the price it's excellent
Review: Great Rolex read - Great book covering the history of Rolex and detailing key watches. Would be great if there was a similar book covering Tudor watches.
