From vision to legend: The history of Rolex
The history of Rolex began in 1905, when the young Swiss watchmaker Hans Wilsdorf founded a company in London. His aim was to produce high-quality wristwatches that were precise and reliable. In the following years, Wilsdorf developed the first waterproof and dustproof watch, which he called the "Oyster". This watch was a significant milestone in the history of wristwatches and laid the foundation for the Rolex success story.
The first automatic watch
In den 1930er Jahren brachte Rolex die erste automatische Armbanduhr auf den Markt, die "Perpetual" genannt wurde. Diese Uhr verfügte über ein revolutionäres automatisches Aufzugssystem, das die Bewegungen des Trägers nutzte, um die Uhr aufzuziehen. Seitdem hat Rolex eine Vielzahl weiterer innovativer Technologien eingeführt, die die Marke zu einem führenden Hersteller hochwertiger Armbanduhren gemacht haben.

It is important to be aware of the model and its history in order to make an informed purchase decision. You should also be particularly careful when buying pre-owned luxury watches, as there are many counterfeit examples on the market.

Eppli guarantees the authenticity of all pre-owned and vintage Rolex watches.
