Rolex – Top of the World

Rolex Submariner (c. 1960)

“From the Top of the World to the Bottom of the Sea — Rolex proves dependable.”

This is the Submariner ad referencing the 1953 Everest expedition. Edmund Hillary. Tenzing Norgay. Rolex equipped the expedition. One of the most historically significant watch ads ever printed. Black frame, black mat.

Dog Ear Note: In 1960 a Rolex strapped outside the Trieste reached 10,916 m. Jacques Piccard wired Rolex that it worked “as well at 11,000 meters as it does on the surface.”
