Rolex History

Stop anyone on the street and ask them to name a luxury brand, and Rolex will often be your answer. The level of recognition the brand possesses was not earned overnight—it is the product of over a century of dedication and skill.

Formed in London in 1905 by watchmaker Hans Wilsdorf, the manufacturer has since scaled not only the ever-growing peaks of technological advancement, but also peaks of a much more geological nature, too. With the Deepsea Special plumbing the depths of the Mariana Trench and the Explorer reaching the summit of Mount Everest, Rolex watches have been in just about every hostile environment imaginable.

Where precision and robustness are required, you need look no further. The brand’s fastidious nature to perform better than its competitors started in 1910, when one of its watches became the first ever to receive the Swiss Certificate of Precision.

The innovative brand’s achievements continued in 1927 when Mercedes Gleitze swam the English Channel wearing the world’s first waterproof watch, the Oyster. With new features such as a screw-down crown, it pioneered the modern diving watch. The publicity that followed launched Rolex watches to dizzying heights.

In 1931, the self-winding Perpetual movement was patented, a simple yet ingenious design that continues to power every automatic watch to this day.

As well as stretching the boundaries of innovation, Rolex watches also push the envelope when it comes to real world testing. In 1960, just seven years after the launch of the iconic Submariner watch, Jacques Piccard travelled 35,814 feet to the bottom of the Mariana Trench with a prototype Deepsea Special. It was strapped to the outside of his bathyscaphe, and it survived. If that wasn’t proof enough of the rugged endurance of the brand’s watches, Sherpa guide Tenzing Norgay relied on his Explorer model during the record-breaking 1953 Everest expedition.

But Rolex watches aren’t just for those exploring the most dangerous corners of our cosmos—they are for professionals, too.

In 1955, the manufacturer developed the twin time zone GMT-Master for Pan Am’s pilots who were flying further than ever before, while 1963 saw the birth of the Cosmograph Daytona, a chronograph watch for racing drivers.

In addition to its Professional collection, Rolex also makes watches with a more aesthetic leaning, such as the Day-Date and the 1908, while the discontinued Cellini line also offers more dressier options.

Rolex is more than just a luxury brand. It produces beautiful watches while commanding a pedigree that can only be dreamed of by its rivals. It is, was, and always will be iconic.

And what better way to purchase a Rolex than pre-owned through Watchfinder. A second-hand Rolex Datejust offers a simple way to get additional value on your purchase, and a pre-owned Rolex Submariner could make a great gift for a loved one.
