2000s Rolex Day-Date Eric Clapton Celebrity Print Advertisement — Original Oyster Perpetual Ad
Approximately 8 x 11 inches.
This vintage Rolex Day-Date magazine advertisement features rock icon Eric Clapton, photographed in the lush English countryside of Ripley, Surrey, where he first fell in love with Mississippi Delta blues as a teenager. The original print ad — part of Rolex's celebrated celebrity campaign of the early 2000s — pairs Clapton's extraordinary musical biography with the gold President-bracelet Day-Date, Rolex's most prestigious timepiece. Few collectible ads marry rock-and-roll mythology with horological aspiration so elegantly. A prized acquisition for Rolex collectors and Clapton enthusiasts alike, this vintage advertisement captures a singular moment in luxury watch advertising history.
