LOT 168:
Rolex GMT early 6542 Double Red @ Christie's
An auction would not be ideal without some rare and exotic Rolex. The exoticism is brought by two lines of red text (here rose and red); the rarity is to find both of them in a GMT Master watchcase.
This 1955 Rolex is one of the first 6542 to have been presented.
With its worn bi-color Bakelite bezel and bi-color date, it is a must for vintage Rolex lovers. A watch to wear driving a Ferrari 312 GTO while wearing a Hawaiian shirt.
Estimation : 50,000 - 80,000 CHF
Final bid 12 november 2012 @ Christie's Geneva: 111,000 CHF
