About this product
Product Information
The history of Rolex is inextricably linked to its founder Hans Wilsdorf, who took the first steps in the world of Swiss watchmaking as he dreamed about a timepiece that could be worn around the wrist. This experimental research led Rolex to achieve its highest goals in both technological innovation and in the use of the finest materials alone. Its models have been photographed on the wrists of political leaders, sports champions, and film and fashion celebrities, transforming each Rolex into a fully-fledged status symbol, a synonym of elegance and precision. Including essays with a historical and technical slant, in-depth descriptions of the most representative pieces and a brief glossary, the pages in this book sparkle with golden hands, diamond-studded dials and patent-leather watchbands, illustrated in period photographs and macro-detail. The volume ends with a chapter dedicated to the most amazing auctions that saw the sale of the Geneva-based company's vintage watches. AUTHOR: Mara Cappelletti, journalist and consultant for many publications by antiquarians and jewellery historians, she is also a professor of the history of jewellery at the Istituto Superiore di Arte Orafa Galdus. In collaboration with Osvaldo Patrizzi, watch collector and world-class watch expert. SELLING POINTS: . The history, icons, and the record-breaking models of the Geneva-based Rolex watch company . A lavishly illustrated book for the lovers of watches, elegance and precision 150 colour illustrations

Sadly the postman failed to deliver the first item sent, but the seller replied to my query quickly and sent a replacement item straight away. Can't really ask for more than that. Well packaged and the book received was brand new as described. Recommended seller. Many thanks.

SNEAKY postage charge. You have to put "positive" before you can leave a review. However, this transaction wasn't completely positive. The correct item arrived very quickly, BUT was described as postage free. In fact the seller added £3.15 to the price, which sounds like postage to me. I contacted them but was fobbed off with various excuses - it's a rare book was one. This book is widely available, not rare. I don't object to paying postage but prefer sellers to be up front about it.
