Today Rolex dominates the prestige sports-watch market and functions as much as an asset class as a timepiece. The brand, founded in 1905 by Hans Wilsdorf, pioneered waterproofing, self-winding movements, and date displays from its Geneva manufacture. Our authentication covers the Oyster case, Perpetual movement, and Cyclops lens. Since steel references trade above retail and supply stays tight, expert guidance helps you buy the right piece.
