THE ROLEX OYSTER

May 15th 1929

This is a fascinating art-deco style Rolex ad from May of 1929, which means it was published 95 years ago!!! It is interesting to note they refer to what we refer to today as a wristwatch, as a wristlet. This ad was obviously published after the advent of the Rolex Oyster, but before the Oyster Perpetual. Notice the art-deco cushion case in the bottom left looks similar to an early Panerai.

This Art Deco Rolex from the late 1920s seems to have an American Indian theme which is really interesting.
