The history of Rolex is inextricably linked to the visionary spirit of Hans Wilsdorf, its founder.
In 1905, at the age of 24, Hans Wilsdorf founded a company in London specialising in the distribution of timepieces. He began to dream of a watch worn on the wrist. Wristwatches were not very precise at the time, but Hans Wilsdorf foresaw that they could become not only elegant, but also reliable.
The Oyster case is one of the determining factors in the reputation for excellence of Rolex watches. A symbol of robustness and waterproofness, this perfectly proportioned and elegant watch case is a superb blend of form and function, whether crafted in 904L steel, 18 ct gold or 950 platinum.
