For more than a century, Rolex has stood apart as the most
legendary brand of watch in the world. A Rolex conveys many things:
a luxury timepiece, a tool of power for movers and shakers and the
symbol of passage into adulthood. New labels pop up, styles come
and go, but the brand at the top never changes. Ever the record
setter-the Daytona that had belonged to Paul Newman was auctioned
by Phillips in New York in October 2017 for $17.8 million- it comes
as no surprise that Rolex is the most collected watch brand in the
world. The Vintage Watch Company is the only store of its kind in
the world, with a devoted client base of devoted Rolex aficionados,
from royalty to sporting legends to stars of the silver screen.
Throughout, father and son, John and David Silver have been
carefully cataloguing and amassing one of the largest pictorial
records of vintage Rolex watches in the world. Published to
celebrate the company's 25th anniversary in late 2020, the book
contains a unique pictorial collection of vintage Rolex watches
that have passed through the shop during the past 25 years. More
than 1800 watches have been photographed and are described in
detail in the book. From early Rolex pocket watches to the world's
first wristwatches, elegant in their simplicity yet revolutionary
in their impact, to the very first Submariners, iconic Daytonas and
jewel-encrusted Crown Collections, the mesmerizing archive of
vintage timepieces charts the extraordinary rise of an
extraordinary brand. Choose from the First Rolex Submariner, later
coined the James Bond, or the Early GMT-Master made for Pan Am
transatlantic pilots. Read about the First Explorers made famous by
the 1953 Everest Expedition or the later Explorer II worn by Steve
McQueen. Marvel at Early Vintage collections, from the Officer's
Pocket Watch to the Ladies' Diamond; from the Oyster and the Stella
& Stone collections, to the Sport Collection. This book is a
perfect gift for all lovers of luxury retail as well as passionate
collectors of Rolex watches who will want to read about the models
they own.
