Arguably the most recognized name in luxury watches, Rolex was originally called Wilsdorf & Davis. It was founded by a German national in 1908. A perfectionist, Hans Wilsdorf worked hard to improve watch standards and prove that high quality products could be produced outside Switzerland (though he received his movements from a small Swiss company).
A hallmark of Rolex is its continuity in design. The models produced several decades ago still have the same outer appearance (though internal pieces are of course improved and upgraded). This faithfulness to tradition helps to give Rolex its reputation.
Rolex's production is limited to about 650,000 watches a year, based on industry estimates. This is below market demand, but it allows the company to maintain its high standards in quality control.
Oyster: Perpetual Air-King Replica This classic masterpiece is produced in steel with an oyster bracelet. It is a self-winding and waterproof (100 meters) timepiece that is one of the top sellers for the company. The dial is blue with a polished bezel.
Cellini Replica: Quartz This lady's sized watch may be small, but the clean lines and sophistication give it a bold presence that is both pleasing to the eye and reliably Rolex. It has a champagne dial with Arabic numerals. The quartz movement is set in an 18 carat yellow cold case on a Damier bracelet.
Oyster Professional: Submariner Date Replica Although it would appear too elegant to risk getting it wet, this watch was designed to do just that. It is a diver's dream come true. Waterproof at 300 meters, this self-winding timepiece has a black dial, black rotate able bezel, oyster fliplock bracelet and extension links.
