Vintage 1985 Rolex Submariner Date Dennis Conner Print Advertisement — Original Celebrity Endorsement Ad
Approximately 9 x 10 inches.
This vintage 1985 Rolex Submariner Date magazine advertisement features America's Cup champion Dennis Conner in one of the watch world's most celebrated celebrity endorsement campaigns of the decade. The original print ad pairs a commanding action shot of Conner at the helm of his yacht with a stunning studio image of the Submariner Date Ref. 16808 in 18kt yellow gold on an Oyster bracelet — one of the rarest and most coveted references in Rolex history. Conner, the Olympic medalist and world championship sailing legend, was the perfect ambassador: disciplined, triumphant, and utterly at home on the water. A collectible ad that bridges horological prestige with the golden age of competitive sailing.
