OUR HISTORY
Being born into the Rosas family is inheriting a destiny and a vocation. Five generations of history, tradition and entrepreneurship committed to an irrefutable purpose and dedicating their lives with intense passion.
FAMILY TRADITION
In 1860 Mateus dos Santos Rosas, great-grandfather of David Rosas, starts in the field of jewelry with a small workshop. The origins of this family are in Gondomar, land of coal and gold mines, artisans, merchants, goldsmiths and master jewelers. At the end of the 19th century Domingos Martins Ferreira, grandfather of David Rosas and son-in-law of Mateus dos Santos Rosas, specializes in the manufacture of monogram rings, and silver knit bags that were exported to England. In 1930 The family business, managed by Serafim Rosas, father of David Rosas, and brothers, (sons of Domingos Martins Ferreira and Ana Rosas) is renamed Rosas de Portugal. Serafim Rosas, with the help of his brothers, was able to create a large company, confirming his entrepreneurship spirit and talent for business.

DAVID ROSAS AND ROLEX
David Rosas has been an official Rolex distributor for almost two decades. It was at Boavista's store in Porto, which is also the company's headquarters, that David Rosas had the presence of the prestigious Swiss brand for the first time. The positive results of this partnership have led David Rosas to extend the presence of Rolex to other stores of the group, in Madeira and in Algarve. The year 2020 is marked by the opening of a new David Rosas store in downtown Porto. Located in a historic building and in an emblematic area of the city, this new space conveys tradition, sophistication and prestige, so that customers have the opportunity to live an unforgettable experience when choosing their new Rolex.
