Completely awestruck by this beautiful book. Perhaps one of the nicest pieces of 'sales' literature I have come across ever.

Eric Chan · 6 November 2015, 04:54 AM

Looks like a good read. You lucked out, Bruce. Time to give my AD a call to see if they have one.

Maxy · 6 November 2015, 04:58 AM

Very cool, nice. Are these for sale or just depends on relationship with your AD?

They called and said they were holding one for me. I stopped by and one of the sales associates handed it to me. No charge. It is a brochure so I would think there should be no fee to it. We have some pretty nice Porsche brochures that come out in limited quantities as well but we never charge for them.

Got mine in hardcover along with the 2015-16 brochure yesterday. The brochure comes in hardcover too. Really nice.

I agree with you, Bruce. The Rolex Way is a fantastic read. My contact at the AD knows I am a Rolex freak and he always holds and calls me when they have these nice extras.

Goosebumps! Great videos. If anyone with the book would able to create a pdf, that'd be much appreciated !!

I must say the white dial DJ with roman marker looks very nice.

Have to agree pure marketing but what that book does not state that without a few patents the RWC acquired like the Paul Perregaux and George Perrolet patent in 1925.Now they had first taken out a Swiss patent for a twin lock screwed stem system crown. Now Hans Wilsdorf of Rolex grasped that a hermetically sealed case, together with careful fitting of the crystal and a special stem mechanism, would produce a better water proof wristwatch.He quickly negotiated to have the Perregaux & Perrolet patent assigned to him. Wilsdorf then obtained a British patent for the twin lock screw down crown on October 18 1926.

Paul Perregaux patent screwed stem system 1925,which Hans Wilsdorf of Rolex acquired,to make the first oyster cased Rolex.

Now the first truely automatic winding wrist watch was made by a guy called John Harwood from the Isle of Man UK,now he in 1923 took out a UK/World patent for the first truly automatic winding wrist watch.And he went on with backing to produce many thousands of these watches,but mainly owing to the very hard industrial depression in the mid 1920s to 1930s in the UK, he went broke.Now old Hans Wilsdorf of Rolex being a very clever but very shrewd man bought and took up this auto-winding patent for the Rolex Watch Company. And in the very early 1930s incorporated it into the oyster design case. This with the newly acquired waterproof screw down crown patent that he got from Perregaux and Perrolet the oyster case was born .And with the new Oyster case,and with the screw down twinlock crown and the acquired patent auto wind mechanism. But in those early days it only wound around 300 degrees the Rolex Oyster was finally born.Now Rolex did improved on John Harwood design by the help of Hans brother in-law,who made it much more efficient by winding a full 360 degrees,and a power reserve then of around 36 hours.So I sometime wonder what would happened to the RWC without these two most important acquired patents.
