From the very beginning, Rolex has been synonymous with dependable, precision-driven tool watches defined by timeless design. Yet on the rare occasions when the brand ventures into jewellery-inspired, design-led timepieces, the outcome is truly remarkable. This was especially evident in the 1970s and 1980s, when Rolex crafted bold, bracelet watches featuring fluid shapes and intricate patterns that seamlessly blended case and bracelet into striking, unforgettable pieces.

Exuding 1970s and 1980s flair, the present watch is a possibly unique reference 5037 and features a ruby and diamond-set bezel as well as a beautiful mesh bracelet. A search on the internet for this reference number does not yield any results, making us believe that it is the only that Rolex made. Furthermore, the service invoice confirms the bracelet as being 'Milanais', confirming that the bracelet was originally made by Rolex. Rubies are notoriously fragile, and the fact that Rolex chose this stone in the embellishment of the watch speaks to the elevated nature of the timepiece.

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.
