The Making of a Status Symbol: A Business History of Rolex

By Pierre-Yves Donzé

This book shows how Rolex has become the embodiment of individual success since the 1960s. This brand is much more than a watch: it is a narrative on a triple exceptionality: that of a product, that of an entrepreneur, and that of the wealthy consumers who wear it. A must-read for understanding the phenomenal success of Swiss watchmaking.
