History of Rolex watch:
The precision of a watch is a function of its movement for Rolex and for Hans Wilsdorf to guarantee the precision of a timepiece. The pressing question was how to protect the movement itself from the elements not only water but also tiny particles of dust.
In 1926 a major step was taken with the creation of the world's first waterproof and dustproof wristwatch.
The Rolex oyster was born over the years suckee changes in the design continued to improve the oyster adding more comfort while keeping the style contemporary and along with style more functions have been added to a Rolex wristwatch.
And this was the first to show the date for a small aperture on the face. It was also the first wristwatch to spell out the day of the week in full.
In the early 1950s Rolex develope professional watches whose functions went far beyond telling the time. This was launched in 1953.
The Submariner was the
first Rolex watch guaranteed water proved to a depth of 330 feet. Already on an incredible journey of innovation and design Rolex
decided to push the boundaries.
Even further in 1960, the bathyscaphe Trieste and Rolex made history the submersible
successfully dived to thirty five
thousand eight hundred feet below the surface of the ocean a Rolex deep-sea.
The special thing was strapped to the outside the development of undersea exploration led
to the launching in 1967 of the sea
dweller 2000 waterproof to a depth of 2,000 feet in 2008.
The Submariner in gold is redesigned and the case features a new unidirectional rotatable bezel with a sarah chrome disc fitted with the patented rolex friend lock system.
The Rolex deep-sea safely descends to twelve thousand eight hundred feet. Rolex has incorporated countless hours and more than a century of experience of research innovation and development into every one of its marvelous and the benefits arising from this work including waterproofness precision and
durability are the result of Rolexes
continuous pursuit of perfection from the most elegant and prestigious models to the professional timepieces are exquisitely crafted piece by piece.
Why Rolex is expensive?
Rolex is kind of one of those brands that sits on the lower end of the spectrum as far as luxury watches are concerned.
* The Submariner's $8,000.
*The entry-level watch at Rolex is $5,000 with the Oyster Perpetual.
Their are three qualities are self-winding, waterproof and precision.And they really focus on quality.It takes one year to make a Rolex.
They go through extensive testing.The accuracy, the chronometer, the timing, it's all about telling the right time,keeping the right time.
They also have extensive service work after,so if you ever have a problem with your Rolex,
you can take it to them and they'll fix it.
The clasp is opened and closed a thousand times before it leaves. so you know that when you get it,
it's not gonna break.
The whole point of a Rolex is you buy one now, it will last you for 20 years if you take care of it.
It will last you for 100 if you really take care of it.
That's ultimately why they're so expensive because you're buying something that will last you a lifetime presumably. And something that you can pass down
to other generations as well.
In the collectors' world, there's the vintage Rolex market. And there's a whole undergroundof different nuances and you know there's a GMT with a matte dial, a GMT with a gilt dial.
And there are all these tiny little details that change and they make a watch more or less valuable.
There's the Paul Newman Daytona which sold for $17.8 million last fall and that's the most expensive Rolexthat's ever sold at auction.
The Paul Newman Daytona is a really good example where they came out with a Daytona back in the 70s and they put these exotic dials on them and they couldn't sell them.
And now they're the most collectible watches on the vintage market. No one knows how many Rolexes are produced per year, no one knows how many Rolexes
are produced per model.
But there are specific ones,like the Rainbow Daytona that came out this year, rumored to have X amount made, but very small quantities.
You don't ever know exactly what the number is, but you do know that
there aren't that many. And they're hard to get.
One of the best things about Rolex is anyone can wear any of them. They're very unisex and I
think that that's refreshing 'cause a lot of times brands put a lot of diamonds on watches and kind of
brand it as a woman's watch.
Whereas Rolex does the same
thing, but it's kind of unisex.Iyou can wear a lot of men's Rolex.
But the ladies Datejust is actually, in two-tone, is actually the most sold Rolex model of all time.Which is a really fun fact.
