  • 圖錄文章

    Starting from the Eighties, Rolex introduced a series of stone dials not listed in their catalogues. The materials were very fragile therefore the manufacturing process was truly complicated. However, the purpose was to render this collection ever more exclusive, granting the owners of these timepieces a privileged feeling impossible to duplicate or copy.This outstanding 18208 reference manufactured in 1999, with smooth bezel exhibits a magnificent black Ammonite dial which features day and date apertures, diamond hour indexes and the coronet logo.The timepiece shows an overall "as new" condition characterised by unpolished sharp bevels, warming the heart of any watch collector. Moreover, the original Japanese warranty paper further underscores the added value of this piece.

    Swiss • 1905

    Founded in 1905 England by Hans Wilsdorf and Alfred Davis as Wilsdorf & Davis, it soon became known as the Rolex Watch Company in 1915, moving its headquarters to Geneva in 1919. Like no other company, the success of the wristwatch can be attributed to many of Rolex's innovations that made them one of the most respected and well-known of all luxury brands. These innovations include their famous "Oyster" case — the world's first water resistant and dustproof watch case, invented in 1926 — and their "Perpetual" — the first reliable self-winding movement for wristwatches launched in 1933. They would form the foundation for Rolex's Datejust and Day-Date, respectively introduced in 1945 and 1956, but also importantly for their sports watches, such as the Explorer, Submariner and GMT-Master launched in the mid-1950s.

    One of its most famous models is the Cosmograph Daytona. Launched in 1963, these chronographs are without any doubt amongst the most iconic and coveted of all collectible wristwatches. Other key collectible models include their most complicated vintage watches, including references 8171 and 6062 with triple calendar and moon phase, "Jean Claude Killy" triple date chronograph models and the Submariner, including early "big-crown" models and military-issued variants.
