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.

    Excellent Ad!

    I have purchased a handful of ads from Nick! The ads always arrive quickly and in great condition! This Rolex Explorer Matterhorn advertisement is one of my favorites! I will definitely be purchasing more in the future. The ads that I currently have framed in my home are complimented by everyone! You can’t go wrong with AdPatina! Thanks!

    Ads, as advertised.

    I had a fantastic experience with Ad Patina. The ad I ordered arrived exactly as pictured, in excellent condition, and was packaged with great care.

    Delivery was impressively fast, and communication over IG DM was clear and responsive throughout the process.

    Unique products, top-notch service, and a smooth experience from start to finish—I’ll definitely be ordering again.

    Highly recommended!

    An impossible to find ad featuring my Rolex Daytona

    What a wonderful surprise to find an ad for my exact Daytona reference from the 1990s! Looks amazing framed. Great personal service from Nick. I look forward to more finds on the website. Super cool idea that fills an otherwise grossly under-served niche.

    Excellent Service!

    Ordered this Ad for my brother, who just got a bluesy sub. It arrived promptly and, as always, with a nice hand written note. This gesture, like the Ads, was a wonderful throwback. Will need to buy an Omega one soon!
