Investing in luxury: Rolex

The success of Rolex comes from the hand of Hans Wilsdorf, an ambitious and entrepreneurial young man born in 1881 who carried out the idea of creating the first reliable and elegant wristwatch. That creation came in 1926 with the Oyster. A great innovation that would gradually add new models such as the Perpetual in 1931, with the first automatic winding system with its free rotor. Rolex had started a great path to be at the forefront of watchmaking and has maintained it to this day.
