A company that innovates while paying homage to their roots, every Rolex is the culmination of centuries of watchmaking expertise. Within this book you will find explanations of the making process, descriptions of the materials involved, and expert commentary on what makes each Rolex wristwatch unique. It demonstrates how each model fits its social milieu, present and past. It also addresses the multitude of fakes on the market, including the so-called 'Frankensteins' watches made from a mixture of real parts and forgeries, which are notoriously hard to spot imparting all the skills needed to pick counterfeits out of a line-up.Book Synopsis
