Set sail with this authentic 2001 Rolex advertisement from the celebrated "Perpetual Spirit" campaign. Shot from above on the teak deck of a yacht, two sailing legends haul on the lines together, under the line "The sea gives up its secrets to only a few."
This is an original magazine page from around 2001. It features world famous sailor Paul Cayard and his inspiration, the legendary Paul Elvström, four-time Olympic gold medallist, "sharing one perpetual obsession: the open sea." A wonderful piece for anyone who loves sailing, yachting and the history of the sport.
The advertisement shows two Officially Certified Swiss Chronometers in 18ct yellow gold: the Rolex Yacht-Master with a white dial and gold rotating bezel on an Oyster bracelet, and the Rolex Datejust with a white Arabic numeral dial, fluted bezel and Jubilee bracelet.
The advertisement is framed in a sleek black aluminium frame measuring 40 x 30 cm, with a white passe-partout and protected by museum glass. The anti-reflective glass keeps the artwork crisp and undistorted while its UV protection preserves it for years to come.
This is a high-quality, authentic vintage advertisement, not a reproduction. It is carefully packed in bubble wrap for safe shipping, so it arrives in perfect condition. A rare find for Rolex collectors and sailors, and a perfect addition to a boat, office or study.
