Story and Details

Of course this is an advertisement for the legendary, no-frills Explorer. But it's so much more... It's really an ad for ALL Rolex watches. The Explorer may be highlighted and mentioned, but the famous headline really speaks to the fact that a Rolex watch is robust and won't fail you. Besides the beauty of the imagery, that deeper message is the true beauty. This is also the earliest full-page ad I've found featuring the Ref. 1016.

    Nick helped source this ad for a friend. It was a great experience and a well received gift.

    Could not be happier with my piece

    I’ve followed Nick’s Instagram for years and have exchanged a few casual messages with him along the way. I’ve always admired his work, and finally decided it was time to make a purchase. The whole process was incredibly fun, collaborative, and easy. We went back and forth on ideas, he created detailed renderings, and ultimately helped bring my vision to life. I couldn’t be happier with the final result and will definitely be ordering more in the future—especially as gifts for friends and family. To top it off, we even grabbed a beer when he was in New York the following week, which was awesome.

    Tremendous as always

    You cannot be in better hands than with Nick at Ad Petina! He’s lovely to deal with and shipping is extremely fast.

    The ads themselves were in such great condition and packaged to perfection.

    Do not hesitate! Buy as soon as you can!

    Ad Patina has the best watch ads around

    I have been dealing with Nick and Ad Patina for several years. Nick has the best selection of watch ads available. He is meticulous about how the ads are shipped, taking great care to insure that they arrive in perfect condition.
