Legendary Rolex Watches: The History of Models That Changed the World
The history of Rolex is a story of a relentless pursuit of perfection. Founded in 1905 by Hans Wilsdorf, the company focused from the very beginning on creating precise and reliable wristwatches, which was a revolutionary idea at the time. A key breakthrough was the creation of the world's first waterproof and dustproof Oyster case in 1926, which proved its reliability by crossing the English Channel on the wrist of swimmer Mercedes Gleitze.
