Hans Wilsdorf and Alfred Davis founded the company in London in 1905; it adopted the name Rolex in 1908. The company established itself in Geneva in 1919 and transformed the wristwatch into a precision instrument capable of withstanding the rigors of daily life. In 1926, the “Oyster” was introduced, featuring a waterproof case that represented a major breakthrough. The “Perpetual” self-winding mechanism with a rotor followed in 1931. Throughout the 20th century, Rolex became synonymous with great explorations, adventure, and athletic achievements. These robust, instantly recognizable watches helped establish the brand as one of the leading names in Swiss watchmaking. Specific Terms of Sale: Please note that all watches are sold “as is.” No warranty is provided regarding their operating condition; therefore, a service is recommended. Some watches have been opened to identify the type and quality of the movement—including water-resistant models—so buyers are advised to consult a watchmaker to have the watch’s water resistance tested.
