Rolex : The impossible collection

Synonymous with precision, Rolex has stood apart for more than a century as the most legendary, most coveted and most collected watch brand in the world-Paul Newman's signature Daytona sold at auction in October 2017 for 17.8 million. A Rolex connotes many things: the quintessence of the luxury timepiece, a tool of power for movers and shakers, the symbol of passage into adulthood. The 100 exceptional Rolex watches in this updated Ultimate Collection volume showcase the most valuable and technically innovative models the luxury watchmaker has produced, including milestones such as the first waterproof watch, the first self-winding mechanism, the first wristwatch to summit Mt. Everest, the first waterproof to 100 meters, the first to withstand magnetic fields of 1,000 gauss, the first to descend the Mariana Trench.
