Rolex: The Impossible Collection

Everyone in the world knows that Rolex is the byword for luxury when it comes to watches. The best timepieces from the legendary brand are showcased in this authoritative book that is required reading for anyone who aspires to own a Rolex and loves watches in general. Other watches may come and go, styles may change, but a Rolex is a Rolex and always has its own value.

Rolex is the most collected watch label in the world and is known for the precision, elegance, durability and reliability of its timepieces. Rolex made the first wristwatch in the world to receive the Swiss Certificate of Chronometric Precision, granted by the Official Watch Rating Centre in Bienne in 1910. The company also made the first waterproof watch, the first self-winding mechanism, the first wristwatch to fly over Mt. Everest, the first diver’s watch waterproof to 100 meters, the first to withstand magnetic fields of 1,000 gauss, and the first watch to descend to the depths of the Mariana Trench.

Some of the beautiful watches in this book have never been seen in print before and the collection of watches include the most valuable and technically innovative models Rolex has ever made. Definitely a coffee table book worth reading.
