專家說明
The present watch is a fine and early example of Rolex's celebrated "Oyster" model, the world's first waterproof and airtight wristwatch launched in 1926. It marked the first of many record-setting marketing events when in 1927 Mercedes Gleitze swam the English Channel in the record time of 15 hours and 15 minutes, wearing a Rolex watch. When she emerged, the watch had kept perfect time.
