{"product_id":"rolex-mara-cappelletti-9781851497836","title":"Rolex: History, Icons and Record-Breaking Models","description":"The history of Rolex is inextricably linked to its founder Hans Wilsdorf, who took the first steps in the world of Swiss watchmaking as he dreamed about a timepiece that could be worn around the wrist. This experimental research led Rolex to achieve its highest goals in both technological innovation and in the use of the finest materials alone. Its models have been photographed on the wrists of political leaders, sports champions, and film and fashion celebrities, transforming each rolex into a fully-fledged status symbol, a synonym of elegance and precision. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIncluding essays with a historical and technical slant, in-depth descriptions of the most representative pieces and a brief glossary, the pages in this book sparkle with golden hands, diamond-studded dials and patent leather watchbands, illustrated in period photographs and macro-detail. The volume ends with a chapter dedicated to the most amazing auctions that saw the sale of the Geneva-based company's vintage watches. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mara Cappelletti, Osvaldo Patrizzi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1851497838\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781851497836\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Acc Art Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/28\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 152\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.60h x 9.60w x 0.90d","brand":"Mara Cappelletti","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44050791891199,"sku":"9781851497836","price":55.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_167a9bb6-d976-4696-b8d8-706cffbcc1eb.jpg?v=1685009269","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/rolex-mara-cappelletti-9781851497836","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
