Rolex King Midas ref.4315 in Yellow Gold

This Rolex King Midas, reference 4315, represents the third and final generation of the iconic asymmetrical case Midas series. Owing to its substantial use of precious metal, the King Midas was Rolex’s most expensive wristwatch during the 1960s and 1970s. Later iterations moved toward a more conventional rectangular design.

Designed by Gérald Genta, the King Midas draws its distinctive aesthetic inspiration from the temples of ancient Greece such as the Parthenon. Bold and unconventional, it broke away from traditional watch design and emerged as one of the most unique case shapes ever created by Rolex.
