This Rolex Ref 1603, with its signature 36mm stainless steel case, features the model’s hallmark engine-turned bezel, which adds an extra layer of texture and refinement to the watch.

Brand Story

Rolex, founded in 1905 by Hans Wilsdorf and Alfred Davis in London, has grown into one of the most prestigious and recognizable watch brands globally. Initially named Wilsdorf & Davis, the company relocated to Geneva, Switzerland in 1919 and was renamed Rolex. The brand revolutionized watchmaking with the introduction of the Oyster, the world's first waterproof wristwatch, in 1926. Rolex's innovation continued with the Perpetual rotor in 1931, the first self-winding mechanism. Known for its precision, every Rolex watch is certified as a Superlative Chronometer, meeting stringent accuracy standards. Iconic models like the Explorer, commemorating Sir Edmund Hillary's Everest ascent, and the Submariner, the first watch water-resistant up to 100 meters, showcase Rolex's pioneering spirit. The Day-Date, introduced in 1956, was the first watch to display both the date and the day of the week. Unique aspects of Rolex include the robust Oyster case, the scratch-resistant Cerachrom bezel, and proprietary materials like Everose gold. With a blend of timeless design, meticulous craftsmanship, and innovative technology, Rolex continues to be a symbol of luxury and excellence in horology.
