Story and Details

This is one of my favorite Rolex ads, and it has nothing to do with the bright "Pepsi" GMT Master that's front and center. Chuck Yeager might be the only man who can pull the spotlight away from one of Rolex’s most iconic pieces. Yeager retired a Brigadier General in the USAF with an impressive resume as a P-51 pilot in WWII along with numerous speed and altitude records. The P-51 "Mustang" he flew is pictured in the background of the ad. And you can make out part of its name, Glamorous Glen, after his wife. Chuck Yeager is probably most famous for being the first person to break the sound barrier on October 14, 1947 at just 24 years old. Equally as impressive Yeager broke the sound barrier for the final time in his life on the 65th anniversary of his first barrier breaking flight at the age of 89 as a co-pilot in an F-15 Eagle. My first introduction to Chuck Yeager came at age 15 when I spotted one of Chuck’s books on display at a family friend’s business. It was a gift from Chuck along with a personal message referencing the time the two served together in the Air Force. For me, the man and the watch are not just two icons of aviation... In my opinion, they're THE two icons of aviation.

    What a find, just wow!

    I am so glad I found Ad Patina and had the pleasure of working with Nick. The level of attention and care Nick has for his customers is unfortunately rare in todays e-commerce experience. He truly brings his passion to what he does and it shines through. The selection of ads here is just incredible!

    I was working on creating an ad wall in my home office and was delighted to find this specific ad. I personally have a connection with this ad (my first good watch was this exact model (3520.53.00)). I actually purchased it second hand from a Tourneau in the mid 00’s which makes the ad even more special (the ad I purchased was specifically a Tourneau advert).

    Nick, thanks for helping me make my vision a reality and making it a special experience!

    Incredible customer service & friendliness, make shoping ad Ad Patina a delight!

    From the very first contact, Nick was super friendly and helpful, offering me to track down the ad that was currently out of stock. Within 2 weeks, he was successful and after a very uncomplicated payment process sent me the ad well packaged and it arrived in germany 2 days later. Well done! I will for sure be returning to this awesome site and ship again. You can feel Nicks love for what he does all the way! Thank you again!

    I’ve purchase a few vintage watch ads from Nick of the years and it has always been an enjoyable experience. Nick is fantastic to deal with and his products are always top notch. Highly recommended to anyone looking for something special!

    Excellent from start to finish

    I’ve had the pleasure of being a customer of Ad Patina for 6 years, not quite since the start but I’d like to think Nick and I go a ways back now. He’s done several jobs for me and every single time he outdoes himself. It’s been incredible watching his business grow and look forward to many more years of patronage!

    A fantastic window to the Golden Age of advertising...

    I purchased this from Ad Patina some years ago and it's hanging in my home office as a constant view into what many consider to be the Golden Age of advertising. It was a time when brands and ad agencies had big ideas and took bold swings at advertising that manifested into Rolex's famous "you'd wear a Rolex" print ad series and Porsche's bold print ads from the 1980's. As a marketer, these are professional goodness.
