Rolex Starship

We are very happy to present this special piece  an intriguing Rolex unlike anything you often see in the vintage world of the brand. Introducing the Rolex Starship: it’s the first time we’ve had such a striking and unconventional Rolex in our collection, and to be honest, it’s not a model that appears often not even online.

A similar Starship was sold earlier this year at a Sotheby’s auction, sharing the same distinctive shape, though with a slightly different aesthetic. The design speaks for itself  it looks as if it came straight from outer space, almost like a golden flying saucer.

The case and bracelet are crafted entirely from 18k yellow gold, featuring an exceptionally detailed woven pattern. The craftsmanship is so refined that the bracelet alone could easily be considered a work of art  something rarely seen on Rolex watches.

The dial is equally captivating, showcasing a unique gold tone with shimmering sparkles, perfectly living up to the Starship name. It resembles a sky full of stars, adding a sense of depth and cosmic beauty to the piece.

If you’re searching for a rare and beautiful Rolex, something truly out of the ordinary that you won’t find again anytime soon, this extraordinary timepiece might just be the one.

Rolex is the absolute king of everyday watches. If it is haute horlogerie or the pinnacle of artistry in finishing techniques you are after, look elsewhere. But for pure everyday function, ruggedness and refinement, Rolex wears the crown.

The brand was founded by Alfred Davis and Hans Wilsdorf in London in 1905. In 1908, the name “Rolex” was registered. The brand would put a host of firsts and records to its name in the decades that followed. From the first chronometer rated wristwatch in 1910 to the first wristwatch with a water resistance of 100 meters in 1953.

A range of waterproofing measures, among which a screw-down-crown, resulted in the famous Oyster case. Up to this day it is the basic platform on which the vast majority of Rolex watches is built. Model names often feature both the Oyster (water resistance) and Perpetual (self-winding movement) terminology, followed by a specific model designation such as Datejust or Submariner.

Both modern and vintage Rolex watches are highly sought-after. They are broadly appreciated for their timeless designs, functional toughness, reliability, brand recognition and value retention.
