King Harald V of Norway Rocking His GMT-Master...

 



King Harald V 
of Norway

A Lifetime wearing a Rolex GMT-Master

63 Years Rocking Rolex GMT-Master

I know! I know!!!! I still haven't taken down my festive "Happy Holidays" Header yet, but I just love Christmas Trees, and snowmen, and everything having to do with the holiday season. Don't worry, I'll swap it out soon. Speaking of festive, Jan from Germany sent in the photo below and said:

Hi Jake

I just discovered this photo today of King Harald V of Norway wearing his GMT-Master in his official photo from the Royal Norwegian family for 2024. 

Regards from Germany,

Jan


I was chatting with Nick Gould and he observed "King Harald has to be the oldest single owner of a GMT-Master!"

He is pictured above and below with his wife, Queen Sonja, and in the photo below taken in 1968 he is rocking the exact same Pepsi GMT-Master pictured above on his wrist. Of course, the fundamental difference in appearance is back in 1968 his Pepsi Bezel was still bright blue and red, and today the patina is so faded, it looks like its silver, almost looking like he is wearing a stainless steel and platinum YACHT-MASTER!
