Rolex manufactures more than a half a million wristwatches per year while maintaining an outstanding reputation and near-perfect quality.

In 1933, the company patented the first automatic winding mechanism. Browse images and historical and technical details of the most reliable Rolex models, including the Submariner, Cosmograph, and Yachtmaster, which divers, auto-racers, and boat captains trust for their precision and durability. Includes updated reports written about new Rolex ideas and performance tests featured in the German watch magazine Armbanduhren (Wristwatch) from the past 15 years. Features more than 185 color photographs. Plus a price guide!
