Description
Our opinion: La GMT est devenue plus mythique que la Submariner récemment avec une très longue attente du retour de la lunette Pepsi. Celle-ci a sa sortie crée un effet de spéculation énorme sur toutes les GMT et les collectionneurs les apprécient encore plus que par le passé. Celle-ci est néo vintage version à 5 chiffres comme on dis dans sa version référence 16700 GMT master I avec sa belle lunette PEPSI et son bracelet acier blindé. Modèle réédité par Rolex et qui a lancé la nouvelle spéculation de la GMT master PEPSI. Un modèle vraiment de transition avec sa toute première version en tritium cadran marqué swiss t<25 et produit uniquement au début de production si belle avec tant de caractère, une pièce parfaite pour commencer une collection. La vraie valeur investissement de chez Rolex. De plus que les neuves se revendent encore plus chère que ces modèle rare et limitée en production. Alors dépêchez-vous avant qu’elles explosent en prix et dépassent les nouvelles !
Brand
Rolex
Rolex is one of the world's most renowned watch brands, famous for its prestige, quality and innovation.
The beginnings (1905-1920)
Rolex was founded in 1905 in London by Hans Wilsdorf and his brother-in-law Alfred Davis. The company was initially called Wilsdorf & Davis, and it imported Swiss watch movements which it then had assembled and sold in London. In 1908, Hans Wilsdorf registered the trademark "Rolex", a name he found easy to pronounce and remember in different languages.
Innovation and success (1920-1940)
Rolex quickly established its reputation through its innovations, including the development of the first waterproof wristwatch, the "Oyster", in 1926. This watch was touted as a revolutionary product and received significant media attention, notably when the Swimmer Mercedes Gleitze wore an Oyster during her English Channel crossing.
In the 1930s, Rolex continued to innovate with iconic models, such as the Rolex Prince, which introduced rectangular dials, and the Datejust in 1945, which is considered the first automatic watch to display the date.
The era of divers and explorers (1950-1980)
In the 1950s, Rolex benefited from its association with exploration and adventure. Models like the Submariner, launched in 1953, and the GMT-Master, created in collaboration with Pan Am for pilots, became symbols of this era. These watches were not only stylish, but also designed to withstand extreme environments, cementing Rolex's reputation as a manufacturer of rugged and precise watches.
The rise to luxury (1980–present)
Over the decades, Rolex has become synonymous with luxury and social status. Rolex watches are often worn by famous people and are considered one of the best investments in watches. The brand has focused on artisanal quality, with rigorous control of each piece produced.
Rolex has also been at the forefront of the watch industry by introducing high-precision automatic movements and developing innovative materials such as Everose gold and cerachrom for bezels.
Philanthropic commitment
In addition to its watchmaking heritage, Rolex is engaged in various philanthropic initiatives, notably through the Rolex Awards for Enterprise, which supports innovative projects in different fields, such as science, environment and culture.
Conclusion
Today, Rolex is more than just a watch brand; it embodies a symbol of success and accomplishment. With over a century of innovation and a commitment to excellence, Rolex continues to fascinate watch enthusiasts around the world.
