Notes
Known by boat enthusiasts worldwide, started in 1960, the company gained worldwide fame by constructing high performance power boats. Although very little is known about the Rolex Cigarette 1 watches, scholars agree that they were only made on late reference 5513 in 1987 and 1988. It is more than likely that the company ordered the watches from Rolex to be given as gift to clients and customised the dials themselves similar to watches retailed at Tiffany & Co.
