Framed 1982 Vintage Rolex Oysterquartz Datejust Chronometer Original Magazine Advertisement (ID: Rolex26)
Offered for sale here is a framed original Vintage Rolex Watch magazine advertisement from 1982.
To prevent glare, the photograph was taken without the frame's perspex front cover. Consequently, the advertisement may appear slightly raised or uneven against the backing sheet in the image.
The text on the print reads:
Reinhold Messner and his Rolex enjoying the fresh air at the summit of Everest.
Ask any climber his nomination for the greatest living mountaineer in the world, and almost inevitably he will answer "Reinhold Messner."
That is not simply because Messner is the only climber to conquer eight mountains of 8,000m or more, but also because of his methods.
Reinhold Messner climbs "by fair means": without oxygen equipment; without pitons; without porters.
"Now technology has overtaken the climbing," says Messner. "I want to climb with my strength, with my fears, with my senses. So, climbing for me is a matter of self-exploration; to discover more about myself. I want to solve a mountaineering problem in the mountains, not in the sporting goods store."
And his achievements have left the mountaineering fraternity shaking their heads in disbelief.
Messner was the first to climb Mount Everest (8,848m) without oxygen. Completely alone he conquered the 8,125m peak of Nanga Parbat.
He climbed K2, at 8,611m, the second highest and most difficult mountain in the world. Accompanied by Michael Dacher and a small expedition, this was achieved in record time.
These exploits are recorded in his books 'The Seventh Grade,' 'Solo Nanga Parbat,' 'Everest' and 'Big Walls,' and have become best-sellers.
In 1980 Reinhold Messner risked "madness" as some called it.
The ascent of the north face of Everest from Tibet.
Completely alone, during the adverse weather conditions of the monsoon season, Messner climbed for days at altitudes known to mountaineers as the death zone.
Without oxygen equipment; without a partner; without native porters.
Without the possibility of rescue.
But one piece of equipment Messner never climbs without is his Rolex Oysterquartz.
"To be up there without a precise and absolutely reliable watch would be madness," says Messner. "My Rolex is my life insurance. When to make camp; my rest period at the peak; the night-time decampment all have to be timed precisely.
"For me there is no better watch."
And as demonstrated: at 8,848m; at 40 degrees below zero; and even without oxygen, Reinhold Messner and his Rolex both function perfectly.

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.
