Discover the fascinating story behind Rolex — the world’s most iconic luxury watch brand. Acclaimed business historian Pierre‑Yves Donzé explores how a small Swiss watchmaker grew into a global symbol of success, wealth and prestige.

He challenges the common belief that Rolex’s fame comes only from craftsmanship, revealing how the brand’s smart partnerships, marketing vision and unmatched ability to tell its story turned a simple timepiece into the ultimate status symbol.

Covering the whole 20th century, this is also a compelling study of how luxury branding shapes consumer culture and the global market. Essential reading for watch enthusiasts, business readers, students of fashion and design, and anyone curious about how legendary brands are built.
