Story and Details

Arguably one of the most-famous Rolex advertisements of all-time. That's definitely one reason for Rolex reprinting it in a 2016 publication. Whether in its original form, from a 1996 magazine, or this pristine, high-quality reissue, the allure of the ad is the beautiful photograph and obvious innuendo overpowering the fact that it's a Submariner ad featuring a gilt dial Ref. 5513. This ad is among the best pre-1967 Rolex ads ever created, which come in a variety of layouts and wide-ranging copy. The formal setting and tough dive watch seem an odd pairing until you read the entire copywriting, including the last line, "Ask her. Maybe she knows." Then you start to understand how a Submariner and black tie party mix perfectly.

    Wonderful complement to an heirloom watch

    The ad came in pristine condition, and will be part of what I give to my son when he receives his first Rolex to wear. Nick’s passion for what he does clearly shows through, and I love his excitement in sharing what he does.

    A great example with professional framing craftsmanship.

    This is a very inspiring Rolex advertisement for me. Not only does it advertise the Submariner, it also sparks the “call to adventure” ethos that vintage Rolex ads were and are known for. The example that Nick framed up for me, not only preserves this archival example to inspire me daily on my wall, his framing skills and craftsmanship are also on display. It is greatly appreciated and evidenced in his work by showcasing and preserving these amazing pieces of mid century marketing for watch enthusiasts and the fans of exploration.
