  • Design-wise you might argue a sub or an explorer are in the same territory.

    Personally, I think Rolexes are very high quality, durable watches, gilded with decades of luxury marketing. I don't think they are particularly interesting from a design perspective.

  • They're references for design, wasn't it Wiliam Gibson who said the Explorer was the Platonic ideal of "watch"?

    Hard to overstate their importance in terms of design when so many other watches are referenced against them in terms of how successful their own designs are.
