Rolex - The Impossible Collection (2nd Edition)
Description
Housed in a luxury leather clamshell case with a metal plaque, this spectacular Assouline tome includes never-before-seen images of the world’s rarest and most iconic Rolex timepieces. It comes complete with complimentary white gloves and a signature canvas tote bag for beautifully curated presentation and preservation.
From the earliest wristwatch of the 1900s to the first Oyster Perpetual in 1931, and beyond to the Explorer worn by Sir Edmund Hillary on Everest in 1953 and the Submariner featured in *On Her Majesty’s Secret Service*, this volume chronicles the milestones that define Rolex’s legacy. Expertly selected by specialist Fabienne Reybaud, each page captures the craftsmanship, innovation, and storytelling behind some of the most technically and historically significant models ever produced.
Each photograph is printed on separate premium art paper and hand-tipped into the volume—an artisanal detail that results in stunning visual depth and texture, even at the cost of slight page alignment shifts. This handcrafted approach ensures that every copy is a tactile keepsake as much as a visual odyssey through horological excellence.
A collector’s dream come true, this volume is an Ultimate Collection piece that stands as both tribute and testament—to precision, luxury, and the enduring allure of Rolex.
