The Vintage Watch Company is the only store of its kind in the world, with a devoted client base of devoted Rolex aficionados, from royalty to sporting legends to stars of the silver screen. Father and son John and David Silver have been carefully cataloguing and amassing one of the largest pictorial records of vintage Rolex watches in the world. This new and updated edition of Vintage Rolex, with an extra 48 sumptuous pages of fabulous pieces, is published to celebrate the company’s 30th anniversary in 2025 and contains a unique collection of vintage Rolex watches that have passed through the store in this time. This limited edition features the rare Stella colour dial in Mint on the cover – there are two other limited edition colourways, making three limited editions to celebrate each of the three decades the company has been in business. These books are an essential addition to the watch aficionado’s library. This edition includes over 2,000 meticulously documented timepieces, spanning early Rolex pocket watches to the revolutionary wristwatches.

Explore rare pieces such as jewel-encrusted Crown Collections, vintage Officers’ Pocket Watches, and the sought-after ‘tropical’ dials, celebrated for their unique sun-faded patina.
