The Rolex brand has driven global achievement since its founding in 1905 and throughout modern history. Created by Bavarian watchmaker Hans Wilsdorf, Rolex timepieces have embellished the wrists of politicians, athletes, scientists and artists. Its self-winding mechanism was the first to blend with daring lifestyles, while retaining a sense of elegance. The first waterproof "Oyster" watch entered unexplored depths in 1926, while the "Perpetual Explorer" recorded the first full ascent of Mount Everest in 1953. Over the years, Rolex has served as the official watch of companies like Pan American World Airways and Daytona International Speedway. Fearless achievers continue to rely on the precise, durable Rolex watch not only as a luxurious accessory, but also as a tool for success.
