About the Item

Original Poster promoting Rolex' Submariner, reference 1680, created by Celestino Piatti, a very productive Swiss Graphic Designer (1922-2007) known for his charm and subtle humor, printed 1974 (offset) in Switzerland. The first Submariner was presented in 1954 at the Baselworld (reference 6204 & 6205 – however, please don't ask why there were two numbers as I have no idea). It was the first consumer watch to be water resistant up to 100m and became not only soon a classic among sports watches, but rather the most famous and popular luxury sports watch ever. No tears, no folds, bold colors – rare and especially in this condition a museum piece.
