 100
Superlative Rolex Watches - by John Goldberger
The Rolex tagline, "an
obsession with perfection," is upheld by the brand's
popularity. Often copied but never surpassed, Rolex--headquartered
in Geneva, Switzerland, with 28 affiliates worldwide
and relying on 4,000 watchmakers in over 100 countries--has
been the leading name in luxury watches and the symbol
of exemplary performance and prestige for more than a
century. John Goldberger, editor of 100 Superlative Rolex
Watches, has spent many happy hours browsing through
watch shops, flea markets, conventions and auctions around
the world for the past 35 years, collecting and studying
vintage watches. In this well-appointed volume he presents
comprehensive descriptions of 100 of the finest Rolex
watches ever made and provides an extensive overview
of Rolex's production, demonstrating the company's innovation
in the technical and aesthetic evolution of watch design.
More than 600 color illustrations and 400 descriptions
provide the collector and watch enthusiast with invaluable
information: reference numbers, casing, movement, relative
calibers and year of production for each watch. The book
covers many styles, including the earliest models, the
Oyster, chronograph and moon phases, the sports model
and the Daytona. |
