The history of this Rolex paperweight
The five-pointed crown, registered by the Geneva-based manufacturer in 1925, represents more than just the brand’s position in the watchmaking market. When it was first created, these five points subtly evoked the five fingers of the craftsman’s hand, paying a discreet tribute to the manual labour required to assemble a precision movement. This desk accessory continues this tradition. Produced under the brand’s supervision, these complimentary items do not appear in any official catalogue. They are manufactured by Swiss foundries to strict specifications, either to reward the loyalty of the brand’s customers or to enhance the display areas of retailers within the network.
Design and finish of this Rolex object
The design of this sculptural object is based on balanced proportions, measuring 10 cm in height, 9 cm at the widest point of the arms and 4 cm in thickness. Forged from a dense metal alloy, it is substantial in weight, ensuring a firm footing and optimum stability on a work surface. Its bevelled profile tapers gradually from its solid base towards the top of each arm. The material features a full micro-bead-blasted finish, giving it a matt, even texture. This bronze-coloured finish gently catches the light. The base features a large oval opening, making it easy to grip naturally. The main face showcases the brand’s historic typography and its logo, both engraved in relief.
