From the Day-Date to the Submariner and Explorer, the Rolex brand is synonymous with high-quality timepieces — and has been for more than a century.

One of the best books on the iconic brand, The Book of Rolex provides explanations of the watchmaking process, descriptions of the materials involved, and expert commentary on what makes each Rolex model unique. The book includes everything from a history of the brand to features on some of the most revered examples and the notoriously complex world of fakes.

Hundreds of high-quality color illustrations are found inside, as well as an exhaustive appraisal of a Rolex watch, including studies of vintage models, current designs, and special editions.
