When reference 116710BLNR was launched in 2013, collectors were immediately raptured by the black and blue bezel, a color combination never before seen on a GMT. A true instant classic, the “Batman" - as it soon came to be known due to obvious chromatic reasons - is now one of the most desired modern sports watches made by any brand. Such a remarkable success was surprisingly accompanied by a relatively short production run: from 2019 the new reference 126710BLNR - with Jubilee bracelet nicknamed “Batgirl” and new caliber 3285 - took its place, making this now discontinued model highly interesting under a collectability level. Preserved in its untouched “new-old-stock” condition from 2017, this is collector’s chance to grab the first model of its kind: truly "Batman begins".
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.
