IT'S OFFICIAL: Jean-Fr��d��ric Dufour Named CEO Of Rolex SA
This morning, rumors started flying that Jean-Frédéric Dufour, CEO of Zenith, will be taking the reins as global CEO of Rolex. Well, we confirmed the rumors with Rolex's Geneva office and they're entirely true! Dufour arrived at Zenith in 2009 after working at Blancpain, Chopard, Ulysse Nardin, and a few other brands, and he is largely responsible for the direction in which Zenith has moved over the last half-decade. He will be the sixth CEO of Rolex (the fourth since 2008) and we are excited to see his impact on The Crown.This is the second huge move among top watch industry executives in as many months, with Jean-Claude Biver having been named head of watchmaking at LVMH effective March 1. Though terms and an official date are forthcoming, Dufour will replace current Rolex CEO Gian Riccardo Marini, who has served since 2011 after acting as director of Rolex Italy. Dufour is friends with and a former colleague of Tudor CEO Philippe Peverelli.We spoke with Dufour

To help fill the void, I decided to add this:IMG_0206.jpgIMG_0219.jpgFew observations about this piece:-- this is a big watch! I have about 7.75 wrist and this guy still feels really big, bigger than my PAM 190 for example. The biggest driver of the size difference i

Which Model for Anniversary?
My wife wants to surprise me with a nice gift for our 10 year anniversary as well as a memento for a job transition. I think the 5524g might be the perfect Patek for me. It would be my first and I'd really like to get one with a GMT as I travel often and will be flying for the airlines.The only other options I know of would be either the Nautilus or Aquanaut with UTC function. To all those here with Patek knowledge and experience, would you go with the 5524g or another option?
