Rolex is one of the most recognizable names in watches. It is the ultimate symbol of high-class in wrist watches. Here are some facts about the watch that is not only the most recognizable, but also the most counterfeited watch in the world! 

Here are some other facts about Rolex timepieces:

• Rolex made the first waterproof luxury watches
• A real Rolex has an etching on the inside of the crystal at the “6:00” position
• Rolex is a privately-owned company that donates much of their profit to charity 
• Rolex has over 1,000 patents in "horology"- or the science of measuring time
• Rolex makes over 800,000 watches per year and sells every one that they make
• There is a letter in front of the serial number on every watch made since 1987- this letter indicates the year that the wrist watch was produced (A search on the web can produce the list if you’re curious as to which letter corresponds to which year!)

Rolex relies on four thousand watchmakers in over one thousand countries! They also pioneered the self-winding watch movement, and patented it. This eliminates the need for the watch owner to hand-wind the wrist watch. 

Additionally, Rolex makes some of the most accurate watches in the entire world. Each watch’s chronometer is independently and professionally certified.
