They coined the world famous slogan "Diamonds are forever", employed the first female copywriter, and have been entrusted with designing adverts for Rolex for decades: J Walker Thompson is an advertising company like no other and has the rich history to prove it.
The present lot is offered by its original owner, who worked for JWT when they were commissioned to produce an advert for the GMT 1675. After being shot for the campaign, the watch was given to him.
The watch is an exceedingly attractive example of the famed reference 1675 with its faded original Pepsi bezel insert. The glossy lacquer dial has been carefully preserved, which adds to the desirability of the watch. The lot is accompanied by an extensive amount of documentation and even a large laminated copy of the original advert.
