History of the model. ROLCO,was In the 1920s-1940s what tudor is for rolex now more or less. After Marconi and Unicorn, Wilsdorf began to employ more distinctive names such as ROLCO, Oyster Watch Company, and several others. One of the well-known names among these is Tudor, which is discussed separately. It was never a secret that watches under the Marconi, Unicorn, etc., brands were produced for the Rolex Watch Company. However, they were not explicitly labeled as Rolex watches and typically lacked the "Rolex" branding. This subtle distinction was part of Wilsdorf's marketing strategy, and he was adept at manipulating names and brands to shape perceptions. A similar approach was used by Omega with Tissot in Brazil during an economic downturn in 1935. the result of a legendary collaboration between Rolco and Rolex. Founded in the 1920s, Rolco quickly gained a reputation for its innovative designs and exceptional manufacturing quality. In search of watchmaking perfection, Rolco found an ideal partner in Rolex, renowned for its unmatched expertise and attention to detail. Around 1945 all the other brand names except for Tudor were dropped, and eventually Tudor was floated off as a separate company. > 0. GENERAL INFO: *Open to offers.
