Exceptional Women and Men

In 1927, a young woman named Mercedes Gleitze swam through the icy waters of the English Channel wearing a Rolex Oyster. It marked the beginning of a long tradition: the linking of Rolex watches with exceptional individuals.

Since then, many of the world’s greatest explorers, sports figures and artists have endorsed Rolex timepieces. These Testimonees all share Rolex’s guiding spirit: the constant pursuit of perfection.
