Own a piece of exploration history with this authentic 1967 Rolex advertisement. Bold white type on a striking black page declares "If you were climbing here tomorrow, you'd wear a Rolex", framed around a dramatic aerial photograph of the snow-covered peaks of Antarctica.
This is an original magazine page from 1967. The ad celebrates the first team to climb the Vinson Massif, the highest peak in Antarctica, and tells how the American Antarctic Mountaineering Expedition wore Rolex on the climb. It describes the classic Oyster case "carved out of a solid block of Swedish stainless steel" and a 26-jewel self-winding officially certified chronometer movement, and even lists the original price: $255. The page also names Rolex as Official Timepiece of Pan American World Airways.
The advertisement shows the Rolex Oyster Perpetual 1005 Chronometer in stainless steel with a 14 kt. fluted gold bezel and matching Oyster bracelet, a true icon of 1960s Rolex design.
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 bold black and white design 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, mountaineers and anyone who loves bold 1960s graphic design.
