According to Evelyne Genta, Gérald's longtime partner and widow, it was fitted to the watch by the man himself after acquiring the Royal Oak directly from Audemars Piguet. 'Gérald didn't own a Royal Oak until May 15, 1978, though he was obviously the Royal daddy,' she says. 'He bought that watch and told me he wanted to make it special, he wanted something more. In those days he already had his own workshop so he made that yellow gold bezel; it's not an original bezel. It's the ultimate combination of Audemars Piguet and Gérald Genta. He wore it quite often and it's unique. There's nothing more I can say other than it's unique.'"

There are two other popular theories out there surrounding this watch: One is that it's another Longines, called the 'Roosevelt,' and the other is that it's an old square-cased Lord Elgin. The only thing that's clear about the watch is it's shape."

Sometimes, however, it's less clear why certain specifications are included. Jewel count, for instance. Many watch enthusiasts probably have some idea why watch movements have jewels in them, but some don't. And yet the jewel count is not only a feature of spec sheets in watch articles, it's also often specified by the manufacturer on the movement itself. Frequency is another one - most modern movements made in any quantity run at 28,800 vph, so why bring it up in the specs if that particular frequency is more or less ubiquitous?"

• Patek Philippe Pumps Up The Volume On Its Minute Repeaters With New High-Tech Amplification System - "As if to remind us there is more to this elite brand than pretty dials on iconic steel watches, Patek Philippe is launching a revolutionary new sound amplification and diffusion system for its chiming watches. In layman’s terms: It’s like putting the minute repeater on stereo. In fact, the system was inspired by the way an old-fashioned phonograph works. The key component is a small, suspended wafer made of sapphire crystal poised on the end of a tuning fork-like suspension. The crystal disk vibrates and sends the sound back down the fork and along a titanium ring that carries the sound outside the case. The result? It powers up the volume of a minute repeater by six times its usual rate. A chiming watch using the new system sounds the same at 60 meters as a classic minute repeater does from 10 meters says Patek Philippe. It is launching today in a 15-piece limited edition as Ref. 5750P. Price upon request."

• Rolex & Cartier tipped for best investment watches in 2022 - "Rising demand and continuing scarcity will make Rolex and Cartier two of the hottest investment watch brands in 2022, according to secondary market specialist The RealReal. Next year will be building on one of the hottest growth periods in history for the luxury watch business, leading to extreme shortages at authorised dealers and soaring prices on the grey and pre-owned markets."
• Rolex & Cinema - "A movement perpetually reinvented." In 2017 Rolex became a partner to the film industry's highest authority, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. For the sixth consecutive year, Rolex is the Proud Sponsor of the Oscars ceremony held at the Dolby Theatre, Hollywood.
• Rolex Adds Cheerful Colors And A New 41mm Size To The Oyster Perpetual - "Most collectors are losing their minds over the new Rolex Submariner, but the real fun in Rolex’s new 2020 lineup lies in the new Oyster Perpetual collection, now available in a rainbow of cheerful colors. This is the first time Rolex has offered these colors on the dials in this collection, and it’s just the boost we need right now."
• Rolex Daytona 116508 Yellow Gold with Green Dial - "'It wasn’t until I received ownership of one of my personal grail watches - the yellow gold, green sunray dial work of horological magnificence known as the reference 116508 - that I understood how a modern Daytona is that extraordinary combination of heart-stopping, almost constant palpitation-inducing beauty with ease of use and reliability that are without equal.'"
• Rolex finally breaks silence on the Rolex watch shortage - "'The scarcity of our products is not a strategy' - Rolex responds to the chronic shortage of supply."

• Rolex is a mere pretender to the Patek Philippe crown at watch auctions - "Rolex made such a splash in 2017 when a Paul Newman-owned Daytona sold for $17.5 million that the casual observer might think it has dominated the auction world’s top ranked sales ever since. Not so, observes Simon De Burton, who sees Patek Philippe firmly maintaining its reputation as the king of auction brands and a number of rising stars like Cartier, F. P. Journe and Philippe Dufour regularly grabbing the attention of expert collectors."
• Rolex is making plenty of watches, but good luck getting your hands on one - "Rolex makes some of the world's most popular watches, like the Daytona, Submariner, and classic Oyster. The Swiss company is believed to make roughly 1 million per year, each one by hand. New Rolexes can be hard to find for a buyer without an established relationship with an authorized distributor."
• Rolex is no longer a retail brand - "Cambridge English Dictionary defines 'Retail' as the activity of selling goods to the public, usually in shops. By that definition, Rolex stopped being a retail brand last year and shows no sign of returning any time soon. The reality today is that members of the public cannot simply walk into a shop and walk out with a Rolex."
• Rolex Oyster Case: Everything You Need to Know - "Pegged as one of the most innovative and historical updates to the wristwatch, the Rolex Oyster case has enjoyed its day in the sun and for good reason. In this in-depth article courtesy of our colleagues at WatchTime India, we take you through the different parts of this piece of horological history and help you understand it better."
• Rolex Watches Were One of the Highest Appreciating Assets in the Last Decade - "Beating out gold, real estate, and stocks on average." Luxury watches have been the 'it' alternative investment these past couple of years, with names like Audemars Piguet, Patek Philippe and F.P.Journe making headlines for their insane surge in price. One Swiss manufacturer, however, has always been the king in terms of consistent appreciation - and it’s none other than Rolex.
• Rolex's spirit of adventure - The Telegraph.
• Russian officials seize Swiss watches apparently worth millions - "According to Switzerland's NZZ am Sontag newspaper, the watches were seized by agents working for Russia's FSB security service from a Moscow subsidiary of Audemars Piguet. It happened just days after Switzerland abandoned its traditional neutrality to join Western countries in imposing sanctions against Russia after the invasion of Ukraine."

The true reason for the red and blue bezel is actually more practical (and cooler). As the Jet Age took off, so to speak, in the early 1950s, long-haul international flights were becoming more commonplace. So Pan Am approached Rolex about creating a watch for their pilots that could display two different timezones simultaneously during such flights. Rolex responded with the original GMT Master in 1955."

• Why We Spend More For Luxury Watch Brands - "When consumers spend money on most luxury goods, they are, in fact, purchasing two things at once. First, they are purchasing a 'nice object' or service. That is the thing they are acquiring, and for it to be an authentic luxury, it has to be manufactured rather well, often with a refined design and using less-than-ordinary materials. But that alone doesn’t make anything a luxury good. The second thing consumers are purchasing when getting a luxury good is the brand name on the good. This is a more amorphous area of value but a real one nonetheless. When you buy a brand you are in fact purchasing an association with a concept, feeling, image, or status."
