I just checked on the Geneva Commercial Register site and can provide the following precision :

Rolex SA is not a foundation, but a limited company (société anonyme, in French) wholly owned by a private trust, the Hans Wilsdorf Foundation.

The statute of Rolex SA confirms that the shares can not be sold or traded on any stock exchange.
