About the brand: Founded in 1905 by Hans Wildorf, few brands command the luxury watch space like Rolex. The five pointed crown has become almost synonymous with luxury and success, and the desirable nature of their watches is reflected as such. Leading the way in accuracy and functional design, Rolex models like the Submariner, Daytona, GMT Master and Datejust have earned their place as some of the most iconic watches ever produced.
