  • Catalogue Essay

    -The present Rolex reference 116509 with stunning diamond pavé dial with enamel Arabic numerals is a true statement of how Rolex has and always is at the forefront when it comes to experiment with new case materials and designs for dials. Furthermore, at the beginning of the year 2000, Rolex produced and released the all new in-house self winding chronograph cal. 4130.

    -Most importantly, the present watch was born with the present dial, evidenced by the "Paved Arab" note on the outer slip case. Furthermore the hands do not contain luminous material and are also filled with black enamel, which is correct for this dial configuration.

    -The watch itself is preserved in excellent condition and is offered with its Rolex guarantee dated November 2014, wallet, tag, product literature, presentation box and outer packaging.

  • Artist Biography

    Rolex

    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.
