Rolex shuts South African office after 76 years
After having a presence in SA for 76 years, Rolex is closing its affiliate office in Sandton, the luxury Swiss watch manufacturer confirmed on Thursday.
Responding to emailed questions from News24, Rolex Geneva said it was closing the office because"unfortunately, local markets and conjuncture have changed, and no longer warrant the presence of an official Rolex affiliate". The brand would therefore close its Sandton office in June, but remain"active in the region" through its official retailer network.
