The Story of Rolex 1905-1948; The Evolution of the Wrist-Watch Chronometer; How the Waterproof Watch Came Into Being; The Story of the Self-Winding Watch (Rolex Jubilee Vade Mecum)
Geneva: Rolex Watch Co. Ltd., (1946-1948). Limited Edition. Illustrated throughout. Softcovers in slipcase. Octavos. 27 pages, 29 pages, 26 pages, and 43 pages.
Group of four scarce booklets from the Rolex Watch Company in the 1940s. "The Story of Rolex" was published in 1948 and gives a nice overview of the company's history from its founding in 1905. The "Jubilee Vade Mecum," published in 1946, consisted of four volumes but the first seems to have been replaced with "The Story of Rolex" in this original slipcase. The "Vade Mecum" volumes are from set #317 in a limited edition of 1,000 copies.
Near fine volumes in a near fine slipcase. Minor wear.
