“We are immensely proud to have the opportunity to extend our showroom which will enhance the Rolex customer experience along with creating a beautiful area within our showroom dedicated to our diamonds.

“We’ve been extremely privileged to work in partnership with Rolex for more than 50 years. Throughout this journey we have seen Rolex become one of the most iconic, globally recognised brands and we remain very proud of our association with the brand and the technological developments which they have pioneered.

“We are also particularly excited to be recruiting for a new ‘watch specialist’ to welcome into our growing team of industry specialists, which includes two FGA qualified gemmologists, an onsite registered valuer and a Rolex accredited watch maker.”

The Whittles last expanded their showroom when they relocated to its Fishergate premises in 2013.
