Brand at a glance
Rolex’s identity is recognized through two complementary elements: the five-point crown and the refined ROLEX wordmark. The crown’s origin is documented in the company’s own history.
Rolex’s official history documents the crown’s registration in 1931. This entry displays the standalone wordmark; it does not imply the wordmark file itself dates from 1931.

Rolex’s published history records the crown trademark’s registration in 1931. The crown sits above the wordmark in the brand’s familiar lockup and has become a visual shorthand for the watchmaker. This page distinguishes that emblem from the standalone wordmark artwork displayed here.
The crown communicates heritage and precision; the green wordmark provides a strong, legible name. The available official history establishes the crown milestone, but it does not provide a complete dated sequence for every wordmark variation, so we avoid inventing one. Compare luxury-fashion identity choices with Lacoste and Gap.
