Original two page Swiss magazine advertisement from the year 1947 for Rolex Watch Company, Montres Rolex S.A., Geneve, Suisse (Geneva, Switzerland). The advertisement was carefully removed from a Swiss magazine. The ad is comprised of two separate pages.
Main text in the ad is in English.
The text headline reads: "500 chronometers for a royal jubilee"
Some of the opening text reads:
"The word chronometer conjures up a unique achievement, a rarity, the object of every jealous care. And yet, ROLEX have suceeded in producing not one, nor ten, nor even twenty chronometers at a time but 500, each bearing evidence of as much vigilant handling as if it has been the only one of its kind.
"It was on the occasion of King George V's Silver Jubilee that ROLEX received a unique order, of which it is truly proud: an order for 500 chronometers of the Prince calibre, all the same model, with gold or platinum cases. The order also stipulated that each chronometer be tested in an official Swiss Control Office for the Rating of Watches, and be accompanied by a Rating Certificate bearing the mention Especailly good."
[Please note: this is a magazine advertisement / magazine clipping only; no watch, clock, parts or tools are included.]
Each page measures approximately 7 3/4 inches wide by 10 1/8 inches high (including margins, if any). The ad is comprised of two separate pages.
There are some small bends on the pages.
As with most vintage ads, there may be yellowing to the paper due to age and may be some small bends, light wear/edge wear. (Any significant damage or wear is noted above. Light wear and minor imperfections are to be expected.) [The images shown are of the actual ad offered for sale.]
The advertisement was carefully removed directly from a magazine.
[Please note: this is a magazine advertisement / magazine clipping only; no watch, clock, parts or tools are included.]
