Conclusion

It could be said that Rolex is the world’s most well-known luxury watch brand.

For decades, we have seen Rolex advertisements in almost every corner of the world. The brand is recognized globally due to its prestigious quality, reliability, flexibility, and longevity.

Once known as the go-to ‘tool watch,’ Rolex watches are purpose-built. Classic models were created with specific, functional purposes and hence explain why there are so many avid vintage Rolex watch collectors in the market today.

It wasn’t until the 1980s that Rolex was categorized as a luxury product.

From afar, a Rolex watch is just a normal watch to an ordinary person (who doesn’t know or appreciate the value of watches) but when one wears a Rolex, it captivates even the most uninterested timepiece collector due to Rolex’s specificity and splendor details.

Rolex watches are never outsourced, they are made in-house in either one of the four manufacturing locations scattered over Switzerland.

Rolex timepieces are hand-glazed with meticulous care and the enforced quality control is one of the most diligent and rigorous in the world. No ‘imperfect‘ Rolex has ever left a factory. This explains why Rolex has been able to sustain its flawless and untarnished name for over a century.

“Where did you get your Rolex? Leaders in all walks of life acknowledge that pride of Rolex ownership starts conversations…makes strangers friends and distinguishes each as a person of taste and judgment. This is to be expected…for discriminating leaders throughout the world depend upon Rolex to guard their precious time.”

Bob Hope
