The Rolex Tower is a 59-floor tower in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. The tower has a total structural height of 235 m (771 ft). Construction of the Rolex Tower was completed in 2010; the tower's inauguration was 7 November 2010.[4] The building encompasses both residential and commercial space and is owned by Ahmed Seddiqi and Sons.[5]
It is the authorized distributor of Swiss Rolex watches in the UAE.[6]
Design
The architectural design of the tower is a combination of simplicity and elegance,[7] and is distinguished by its glass façade that glows like a bright lantern after sunrise, as it stands out with its turquoise color and is opaque on the lower floors, but turns semi-transparent at the top.[5]
