About Rolex
Hans Wilsdorf co-founded Wilsdorf & Davis in London in 1905 and later registered the Rolex name, moving the business to Geneva. Rolex pioneered waterproof Oyster cases and self-winding Perpetual movements, building a private Swiss manufacture known for sports and classic dress watches distributed through official retailers.
Why consider Rolex
- Swiss manufacture with deep chronometer heritage
- Iconic sports and classic models with long secondary-market recognition
- In-house movements, cases and finishing under one manufacture
- Official retailer network rather than open mass distribution
- European luxury alternative to US and Asian watch groups
