Offered for sale here is a framed original Vintage Rolex Explorer II magazine advertisement from 1984.
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:
Sir Ranulph Fiennes went to the ends of the earth to ensure the success of the Transglobe Expedition.
If Ran Fiennes had lived in the 15th century, he would have been off proving to us all that the world was round, not flat.
He has almost literally been everywhere and done everything. From free-fall parachuting onto Continental Europe's largest ice-cap, to surveying up the River Nile, to forging his way 3,800 miles along North America's most hazardous rivers.
But the most breathtaking achievement was Transglobe, in which he set out to circumnavigate the earth along its polar axis, crossing both poles in one trip!
After seven years of intense preparation, Ran Fiennes led men, machines and equipment on a 37,000-mile journey that followed the Greenwich Meridian south across Europe, the Sahara to West Africa, down to Saldanha Bay, Cape Town then across 1,400 miles of hostile nothingness to the South Pole at the very bottom of the world.
The meticulous selection of equipment paid dividends at many stages. The supply ship, the meteorological gear and the communications systems.
All proved thoroughly reliable. The Rolex watches they took with them performed as expected in both the searing 122°F of the El Golea sand dunes and in an air and wind chill factor of minus 131°F on the colossal Antarctic Plateau.
Acting out a catalogue of broken bones, hidden crevasses, serious frost attack and almost permanent dampness, the expedition forced its way up the other side of the world via New Zealand, up the International Dateline to the Bering Straits, the River Yukon, the River Mackenzie, then the tortuous, ice-bound corridor known as the North-West Passage. Sir Ranulph Fiennes and his team pushed through this unwelcoming 3,000 miles in 35 days – a trip, for the few who ever made it, that would normally take three seasons.
They then struggled over the Arctic Ocean via the North Pole, becoming the first men in the world ever to reach both poles the hard way.
The improbable circle was then completed by canoe when they made contact with the supply ship three years later.
Everyone came through with flying colours.
The Transglobe team had successfully accomplished the mission that experts had labelled "impossible." And each one of their battered but uncomplaining Rolex watches lived up to the coveted title of Officially Certified Chronometer.
ROLEX of Geneva
THE ROLEX EXPLORER II CHRONOMETER. AVAILABLE IN STAINLESS STEEL WITH WHITE OR BLACK DIAL.
This print is more than 40 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.
