Vintage Rolex Books Limited Editions

Just thought i’d share a couple of images of some limited edition vintage Rolex books i’d picked up

Don’t know a great deal about them but couldn’t resist.

Very rare set, unfortunately yours isn’t matching which hurts the value quite a bit. Just noticed your Vade Mecum set might be numbers matching. I haven’t seen the other books for sale.

Thanks for the message

The Vade Mecum are all the same number

The other 2 books are not a pair but two individual books. One a ltd edition of 2000 the other in french of 600

nice score, didn't notice they were 2 different books at first. of all the literature out there, it's the one set i've always kind of wanted, just never quick enough to snag them when they come up for a deal

the history of the self winding watch is just as cool.

Nice score.

I've unsuccessfully tried to pick these up in the past.
