The Icon of Swiss Watchmaking Since 1905

Founded in London in 1905 by Hans Wilsdorf and later moved to Geneva in 1919, Rolex is undoubtedly the most famous and coveted brand in the entire watch industry. Synonymous with prestige, reliability, and status, Rolex revolutionized modern watchmaking with a long series of technical and stylistic innovations that have marked history.

Pioneers of Innovation

Rolex was the first to introduce:

• The first waterproof wristwatch (Oyster, 1926)
• The first automatic watch with rotor (Perpetual, 1931)
• The first watch with dual time zone (GMT-Master)
• The first professional underwater chronometer (Submariner, 1953)

Every Rolex watch is made in-house, with obsessive attention to quality, durability, and functionality. All movements are COSC chronometer certified, often with even higher standards.

Iconic and Collectible Models

Rolex has created some of the most beloved and sought-after models in the vintage market:

• Submariner: the ultimate diver, robust and versatile
• Daytona: sporty chronograph, legendary thanks to Paul Newman
• Datejust: classic and elegant, with date at 3 o’clock
• Explorer and Explorer II: born for exploration and mountaineering
• GMT-Master and GMT-Master II: designed for pilots, a travel icon
• Milgauss, Air-King, Oyster Perpetual: pure and functional lines
• President / Day-Date: the watch of the elite

Each model has a strong identity and a legendary story, reflected in the vintage market with continuously rising values.

Why Choose a Vintage Rolex

A vintage Rolex is much more than a watch: it is an investment, a cultural symbol, and an heirloom. Models from the ’50s to ’80s are today among the most sought after for:

• Reliable and long-lasting mechanical movements
• Timeless aesthetics
• Durable materials such as 904L steel, gold, and platinum
• Unique reference numbers and collectible details

Whether it’s a Submariner 5513, a GMT 1675, a Daytona 6263, or a simple yet charming Oyster Precision, every vintage Rolex has a story to tell.
