The Book of Rolex - Coffee Table Book

Story

”A house without books is like a room without windows.” - Horace Mann

Calling Rolex “the most popular watchmaker in the world”—although true—kind of misses the point. They’re much more than popular. They’re archetypal. They’re the benchmark all other watches are measured against. Tracing the brand’s storied history and timeless lineage, The Book of Rolex squarely situates each timepiece from the iconic watchmaker in a historical context, offering a holistic view of the iconic brand. Whether you’re dipping your toe in the world of Rolexes or are a fully-immersed collector, you can’t go wrong with this coffee table book.
