Framed 1979 Vintage Rolex GMT-Master Watch Original Magazine Advertisement (ID: Rolex2)
Offered for sale here is a framed original Rolex GMT-Master Watch magazine advertisement from 1979.
The text on the print reads:
3,270 miles across open ocean. A cruel test for a papyrus boat. An easy trip for a Rolex watch.
Gods with heads of birds sailed westward to America ages ago in prototypes of RA 2.
When Kon-Tiki master Thor Heyerdahl set about retracing those timeless routes, he built RA 2 of papyrus reeds, in the style of Mesopotamian and Egyptian mariners.
His goal: to show that pre-Columbian culture might have ancient Mediterranean sources, by crossing the Atlantic in an archetypal papyrus raft.
His course: a 57-day voyage of 3,270 miles from Africa to Barbados.
His watch: a Rolex Oyster perpetual chronometer.
RA 2's drenched hull sank to deck level in gale-wracked seas, and barnacles sprouted round her mast. But her crew, like their forebears, discovered papyrus topsides were stronger wet than dry.
And their landfall has linked new world idols with Phoenicia and the Pharaohs.
Skipper Heyerdahl's Rolex, pressure-proof in any weather, and to extreme depths of inner space, was fit shipmate for this epic sail.
Carved from a single block of surgical stainless steel, its pressure-proof Oyster case guards a superb self-winding movement, officially certified as a chronometer.
Integral to the seamless Oyster case is the new triplock winding crown, which screws down like a submarine hatch to form an impregnable seal.
On great journeys of discovery, like that of RA 2, success and lives depend upon accurate, rugged gear.
That's why Thor Heyerdahl and his entire crew chose the Rolex timepiece.

This print is almost 50 years old, so there will be signs of age. Some discoloration is commonplace and often there are small tears and signs of wear — little badges of authenticity.
There will be images and/or text on the back-side of your print. In some cases this may be slightly discernible through your print.
The brand-new A4 frame measures 22.7cm x 31.7cm x 1.0cm.
The print sits centered on an A4 sheet of Canson Iris Vival 185gsm card stock and is held in place using a single Goldbuch acid-free adhesive.
I can post via Toridilli or you can pickup from Jätkäsaari or Punavuori - whatever suits you best.
