“As long as I can remember, watches have always been a part of my life. I recognized at an early age how a watch can become a part of someone’s personality. I vividly remember my father’s 36mm 18K yellow gold Rolex Oyster Perpetual Day Date Ref. 18038 with an African Mahogany Dial. It was one of many exotic dials Rolex made in the ’70s and ’80s and is now considered rare. The unique pattern and warmth of the wood ultimately spurred my fascination with timepieces.”
