Watches that are nowadays the most appreciated and sought after by collectors and lovers of fine timepieces.

The firm distinguishes itself in all fields of activity, such as scuba diving, aviation history and motor racing. Rolex is present in the pointed and professional sectors where trophies are won and records are set.

In 1945, Hans Wilsdorf presents the Air-King model in honor of the Royal Air Force pilots (RAF).

An iconic watch which has the quintessence of sobriety, a three-hand watch perfectly mastered.

At first, it was a hand-wound mechanical movement with a second hand at 6, then it evolved into a self-winding mechanical one with a central second hand.
