► ARCHIVE FILE: ROLEX — BRAND HISTORY

Rolex began in 1905 and helped transform the wristwatch from jewelry into dependable equipment. The waterproof Oyster case, self-winding Perpetual rotor, and postwar tool watches—including the Submariner, GMT-Master, and Daytona—created the blueprint for the modern sports watch and made originality the central concern in vintage Rolex collecting.
