I suggest James Dowling's book "The Best Of Time. Rolex Watches. An Unauthorized History".

Also, the book by Skeet and Urul "Vintage Rolex Sport's Models" is recommendable, if you want to dive further into sport's models.

Finally, "The Rolex Report" by John E. Brozek is a nice book with many handy charts in the back of the book.

Here's a compilation with further books.

Those are great books and should serve as the core of any reference library.

However; I said before don't overlook the vast wealth of information that's available through the net. It seems new information comes to light every day with great people so willing to share their knowledge and research.
