Under the title "Rolex: A journey through history," my dear friends of an Rolex AD in Spain have organized an exhibition that, frankly, I´m really happy didn´t got lost.
Yesterday, a good number of friends got together for a pleasant Saturday, the excuse for the meeting ??... simple: what better than a good number of friends together, a nice environment where a good time and a stunning exhibition at the height of the best events I have ever enjoyed. The answer, as you see, is simple.
Well, without further blablabla, let's enjoy what I could find in this exhibition ...
The first showcase is a summary of major milestones of Rolex and more specifically of the submersible models: the birth of the box "Oyster" in 1926 and an explanation of the right-hand record of Piccard, the deepest dive (10.916m) in The Marianas.
All this with submariners from different periods: two 1680 double red letter, a 5513 NOS, Sea Dweller 16660, a 5508 James Bond from 1959 and a spectacular 1680 in yellow gold.
Of course, them combined with all the current models with ceramic bezel and some models recently discontinued.
Do you like to think in green ???.... I am not referring to the ad model...
Uff, what a Marvel... Rolex ref. 6536 / 1 in perfect condition. I must admit that is one of the most beautiful vintage Rolex I've ever seen ...
In the second window we can admire the other professional models: the conquest of Everest (Explorer) and the watch of the pilots (GMT).
For Explorer´s Lovers...
And for the one Gmt´s nuts...
Dayto Love...
More green...
Another interest of the exhibition was to see the evolution of the Submariner over the years. For this, the exhibition was ordered in 5 areas with speakers inside and iconic versions of Submariner and Sea Dweller models:
James knew to surround himself with beautiful things...
And, of course, the new Sub Date:
Nothing better than a table-shot to be able to admire the dimension of the event...
Let´s see and "in depth view" of some of the marvels that I found there:
