Rolex watches are designed and built to last. From the conception of a Rolex watch to the time it leaves the workshops, every step of its development and manufacture follows a single critical requirement: quality. As a result, there is no limit on how long a Rolex watch can keep working, being handed down from one generation to the next, and living several lives.
