For more than a century, Rolex has been the world's most legendary watch brand. New brands pop up, styles come and go, but the brand at the top never changes. As the record holder - Paul Newman's Daytona was auctioned off by Phillips in New York in October 2017 for $17.8 million - it is no surprise that Rolex is the most collected watch brand in the world.

The Vintage Watch Company is the only store of its kind in the world, with a dedicated customer base of devoted Rolex enthusiasts, from royalty to sports legends to stars of the silver screen. Father and son John and David Silver have carefully catalogued and collected one of the largest photo archives of vintage Rolex watches in the world. The Rolex book, to be published in late 2020 to celebrate the company's 25th anniversary, contains a unique collection of photographs of vintage Rolex watches that have passed through the store over the past 25 years.

More than 1,800 watches are photographed and detailed in the book. From early Rolex pocket watches to the world's first wristwatches, elegant in their simplicity but revolutionary in their impact, to the very first Submariners, iconic Daytonas and jewel-encrusted Crown Collections, the enchanting archive of vintage timepieces charts the extraordinary rise of an extraordinary brand. Choose from the first Rolex Submariner, later called the James Bond, or the early GMT-Master made for Pan Am transatlantic pilots. Read about the First Explorers, made famous by the 1953 Everest Expedition or the later Explorer II worn by Steve McQueen. Admire the Early Vintage collections, from the Officer's Pocket Watch to the Ladies' Diamond; from the Oyster and Stella & Stone collections to the Sport Collection.

The "Vintage Rolex" coffee table book is a perfect gift for all lovers and passionate collectors of Rolex watches who would like to read more about the models they own.
