Ali MacGraw 1968 Cartier Boutique Rolex Ad



...Vintage Rolex Hotness...


Ali MacGraw

1968 Cartier Boutique Rolex Ad

There is nothing cooler in the world of Rolex spotting than discovering a famous person in a vintage Rolex ad rocking a Rolex that you have never seen before. It's rare, but it happens. Nicolas from Adpatina.com discovered this AMAZING Cartier Boutique Rolex ad from 1968 which features a young Ali MacGraw clad in Bill Blass while sporting her ladies Rolex Oyster in Stainless Steel. Adpatina.com specializes in selling original vintage Rolex magazine advertisements both framed and unframed! 


We know vintage Rolex watches are very popular with collectors, and many people like owning vintage ads, which are far less expensive, but will likely continue going up in price over the upcoming years.

The ad above which features Ali MacGraw when she was a model in 1968. Not so long after, she became a famous actress and started dating fellow actor, Steve McQueen who she is pictured with below in 1972. 



In an ironic twist of fate Steve is wearing the same Rolex Submariner [Reference 5512] model seen in the ad sans the Cartier logo and he married Ali! 





Nick Gould discovered the photo below of Ali MacGraw wearing her two-tone ladies Rolex Datejust.

Want to see some of the most beautiful photos of vintage Rolex Daytona models on planet earth? You can see many of them in my story from 2014 named, The Complete History Of The Rolex Daytona Cosmograph.

The photo below is from the story and showcases an ultra-rare yellow gold Paul Newman exotic dial Rolex Daytona that was made for and retailed by Hermès. The photo is from Pucci Papaleo's masterpiece book named The Ultimate Daytona. In my opinion this is the very, VERY, VERY best looking yellow gold Rolex Daytona EVER Made...


It's interesting to note that when most people think of a "Paul Newman Exotic Dial Daytona", they don't envision anything like this Hermès Rolex Daytona. Instead, they think of a stainless steel variant, but, man this Rolex is beyond beautiful...
