the most expensive rolex

There aren’t many watches that get people more excited than the Rolex Chronographs. Their Daytona is an icon of luxury sportswear, and has been worn by countless celebrities, athletes and explorers (most notably by Paul Newman). While the Daytona has enjoyed a 40-plus year run as Rolex’s only chronograph model, it isn’t the only chrono Rolex in existence. Today’s Wednesday watch pick is a very rare Rolex -- a square chronograph from the 1930s, model 3529. We challenge you to find anything half as cool as this. 99 Uniqueness While some of your neighbors may own a Rolex, we can all but guarantee they don’t own this one. There is nothing quite like owning an extremely rare model from the best-known brand in the world; it renders you completely immune to any form of horological snobbery. Even those people with more expensive and more complicated watches will have to give credit where credit is due. The Rolex Chronograph 3529 is a great watch no matter how you look at it. Read more 80 Durability While square is not a case-shape that Rolex is known for, it is used by many other high-mark brands. Considering that this Chronograph is approaching 80 years, you have to realize that this is by no means a daily wear watch. Also, because it is so old, it is sized very small relative to today’s models. To give you an idea, a modern Rolex Daytona is around 40mm, while this '30s Square Rolex is sized at 25mm. That said, it does have the legendary Rolex craftsmanship behind it, so don’t be afraid to wear it out on the town. Reference 3529 is a unique and interesting watch from Rolex, one definitely worth checking out if you are looking for something to set you apart. The one we’ve found on www.WatchCommander.com is a great, all-original example. Ben Clymer is the Executive Editor of Hodinkee.com, a daily blog of the most interesting watches in the world.

This is a wonderful addition to the Rolex Oyster Perpetuals which came out in the year of 2010. The Submariner Date watch, rendered in stainless steel, has a great successor – the Submariner Date watch, ref.116610. Compared to the previous model, this timepiece underwent a major innovation. While remaining true to its time-honored values, Rolex company created an ultra-modern interpretation of the world-renowned Submariner with luxury factor brought to the very forefront.This Submariner Date watch is equipped with an imposing 40 mm case. Yet, it outlines a squarer profile, called Supercase by lots of Rolex fans. This model also features thicker lugs representing an equivalent to those of the Oyster Perpetual GMT-Master II model.The new Rolex watch is definitely eye-catching due to the considerable changes done to the acclaimed graduated unidirectional bezel of Submariner. Retaining the gleam of the knurled edge and serrated functionality, it has excluded the anodized black aluminum insert.This novel watch is framed by a glossy Cerachrom bezel, crafted from exclusive ceramic material. The bezel is impervious to UV damage and saltwater corrosion, as well as remarkably scratch-resistant.The dial is completed with enlarged hands and hour markers, designed in “Maxi” style. These components are treated with Chromalight luminous compound, rather than standard Superluminova coating. The Chromalight material stands itself out with a unique blue glow with much higher visibility under water. It assures the water-resistance down to 300 meters.Similar to the watch case, this Oyster bracelet is sculptured in 904L stainless steel. The brushed center links are quite solid. This construction does make the watch really comfortable to wear. The bracelet terminates in a folding clasp. Furthermore, it has a clever and rather accurate Glidelock extension device with a ratchet.Then the engine running the timepiece is the Rolex's proprietary self-winding Caliber 3135 movement. The mechanism incorporates a centrally mounted rotor and adjustable balance bridge. Although the movement is the same as that of the previous Submariner models, it has been improved technically. For the hairspring with the Breguet terminal curve, craftsmen used the exclusive shock and magnetism-resistant Parachrom material. The movement provides a power reserve of 50 hours.If you like it, but hesitating over the high price, there are better choices for you �C the top quality replica Rolex Submariner Date 116610 watches!
